The role of nitrates in skeletal muscle metabolism during contraction
2016
Betteridge, Scott Sheng-Yi
Inorganic nitrate (NO3-) is a chemical compound found naturally in some foods, mainly green leafy vegetables. Traditionally this anion was considered inert in the human body, but recently the consumption of dietary NO3- has been shown to result in a number of positive physiological effects. These effects include protection against ischaemic reperfusion injury and improvements in glucose regulation in diabetic animal models. Some studies have also shown a reduction in blood pressure and a decrease in oxygen consumption (VO2) for a given sub-maximal exercise workload, i.e. an increase in exercise efficiency after both acute, and chronic NO3- ingestion.
