In the citing paper
“Through early cancer research, it was known that up to 25% of circulating nitrate is actively taken up by the salivary glands and concentrated 10-to 20-fold in saliva, but the reason and mechanism for this were unknown, other than its proposed pathologic role in formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines.10”
From Nitrate-Nitrite-Nitric Oxide Pathway: Implications for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care (2010) · cites this paper as [10]
In the citing paper
“An enterosalivary circulation of ingested nitrate exists in which, after absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, circulating nitrate is actively secreted in saliva and oral commensal bacteria reduced nitrate to nitrite. 10”
From Nitrate-Nitrite-Nitric Oxide Pathway: Implications for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care (2010) · cites this paper as [10]
In the citing paper
“Most estimates suggest that 20-28% of a nitrate load is secreted in saliva [107,113,115,116].”
From Vascular effects of dietary nitrate (as found in green leafy vegetables and beetroot) via the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway (2013) · cites this paper as [116]
In the citing paper
“Ingested inorganic nitrate circulates in the plasma, and a portion (~25 %) is taken up by the salivary glands and concentrated in the saliva [8].”
From Dietary Nitrate Supplementation and Exercise Performance (2014) · cites this paper as [8]
In the citing paper
“Following ingestion, nitrate is converted in the body to nitrite and stored and circulated in the blood.”
From Dietary Nitrate Supplementation and Exercise Performance (2014) · cites this paper as [8]
In the citing paper
“Most of the nitrate is then excreted in the urine, while up to 25% of plasma nitrate is taken up by the salivary glands and placed in the enterosalivary circulation (Spiegelhalder et al., 1976).”
From Do Changes in Oral Microbiota Correlate With Plasma Nitrite Response? A Systematic Review (2019) · cites this paper as Spiegelhalder et al., 1976
In the citing paper
“In proportion to the dietary load of nitrate, approximately 25% of total circulating nitrate is actively sequestered into salivary glands and concentrated in saliva up to 20 times that in plasma[73,75,82–88].”
From Enterosalivary nitrate metabolism and the microbiome: Intersection of microbial metabolism, nitric oxide and diet in cardiac and pulmonary vascular health (2017) · cites this paper as [82]
In the citing paper
“Approximately 25% of the absorbed nitrate is delivered to the salivary gland and secreted into saliva in the oral cavity [21]”
From NO-Rich Diet for Lifestyle-Related Diseases (2015) · cites this paper as [21]
In the citing paper
“reductions of nitrate to nitrite depend entirely on oral commensal bacteria, and individual differences in microflora may affect nitrate reduction (61, 86, 174).”
From Inorganic nitrite supplementation for healthy arterial aging (2014) · cites this paper as [174]
In the citing paper
“As such, nitrate dependent nitrite production is predominantly generated from the enterosalivary circulatory system delivery of nitrate to the oral cavity where it is reduced by commensal bacteria nitrate reductase activity present in the digestive system (Figure 2) [49–53].”
From Inorganic nitrite therapy: historical perspective and future directions (2011) · cites this paper as [51]
In the citing paper
“Dietary NO3− supplementation has been observed to elevate nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability via the reduction of exogenous NO3− to nitrite (NO2−) by commensal anaerobic bacteria in the oral cavity [79], followed by the one-electron reduction of NO2− to NO (and other nitrogen intermediates) catalyzed by various NO2− reductases [80,81,82,83,84] in the tissue and blood.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
