  1. 6. The role of dietary nitrate in regulation of blood pressure and metabolism

    Författare :Michaela Sundqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : A diet rich in vegetables is recommended for health in general and is also associated with lower blood pressure. Research suggests that inorganic nitrate present in leafy green vegetables could be a contributing factor for the favourable effect. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Nitric oxide formation from inorganic nitrate and nitrate : contribution from eukaryotic and prokaryotic pathways

    Författare :Liyue Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential signaling molecule that plays a central role in a broad range of physiological functions. Classically, NO is synthesized from L-arginine and molecular oxygen by NO synthases. Once formed, it is rapidly oxidized to nitrite and nitrate. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Diet and inflammation : the role of nitrate and conjugated linoleic acid

    Författare :Cecilia Jädert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : A diet rich in vegetables and unsaturated fatty acids is associated with a lower risk of major diseases including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and chronic inflammation. Yet, despite extensive research, the active component(s) responsible for these effects has not been pinpointed and studies with single nutrients have been largely unsuccessful. LÄS MER

  5. 9. NADPH oxidase and xanthine oxidoreductase as targets and regulators of the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway

    Författare :Maria Peleli; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by NADPH oxidase (NOX) and xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) with a concomitant decrease in the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) from eNOS contributes to the development of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Extensive research has proven the existence of an alternative NOS-independent pathway for NO production. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Influence of the microflora on gastrointestinal nitric oxide generation : studies in newborn infants and germ-free animals

    Författare :Tanja Sobko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Nitrite; nitrate; IBD; lactobacilli; probiotics; germ-free; SCFA; H 2; newborn infants;

    Sammanfattning : Interactions between intestinal bacteria and the host play an important role in physiological regulation of gut function and in development of various diseases. Nitric oxide (NO) exhibits a variety of biological actions in the gut including regulation of regional blood flow, gut motility, water and electrolyte transport and immunity. LÄS MER
