Nitrate and nitrite in biology, nutrition and therapeutics
Open accessAbstract
Inorganic nitrate and nitrite from endogenous or dietary sources are metabolized in vivo to nitric oxide (NO) and other bioactive nitrogen oxides. The nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway is emerging as an important mediator of blood flow regulation, cell signaling, energetics and tissue responses to hypoxia. The latest advances in our understanding of the biochemistry, physiology and therapeutics of nitrate, nitrite and NO were discussed during a recent 2-day meeting at the Nobel Forum, Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm.

Its mitochondrial subsection also reports nitrite reduction by low-molecular-weight reducing agents at low pH, supporting the non-enzymatic part of the claim.

The discussion under “Nitric Oxide Formation in Vitro” (page not provided) says that swallowed, nitrite-containing saliva can support continuous NO formation in the acidic stomach. It does not report production of a variety of nitrogen oxides, and gives daily saliva production as often exceeding one litre rather than approximately 1.5 litres. (LLM, conf=0.87)

From On the chemical biology of the nitrite/sulfide interaction (2015) · cites this paper as [20]
In the citing paper
“It is now accepted that the anion nitrite, once considered an inert oxidation product of nitric oxide (NO), contributes to hypoxic vasodilation, physiological blood pressure control, and redox signaling.”

In the citing paper
“Nitrite serves as an in vivo reservoir for ⅐ NO generation, alters mitochondrial function (54), and manifests a broad array of anti-inflammatory actions in model systems (22).”
From Conjugated linoleic acid is a preferential substrate for fatty acid nitration (2012) · cites this paper as [22]
In the citing paper
“The more recent interest in nitrite biology stems largely from the realization that the generation of NO from nitrite reduction can occur under conditions that span a range of oxygen tensions and pH observed over the pathophysiological spectrum [5-7].”
From Current perspectives and challenges in understanding the role of nitrite as an integral player in nitric oxide biology and therapy (2011) · cites this paper as [6]

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
