Effects of Dietary Nitrate on Blood Pressure in Healthy Volunteers
Open accessAbstract
To the Editor: Nitric oxide, generated by nitric oxide synthase, is a key regulator of vascular integrity. This system is dysfunctional in many cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension. A fundamentally different pathway for the generation of nitric oxide was recently described in which the anions nitrate (NO3 ) and nitrite (NO2 ) are converted into nitric oxide and other bioactive nitrogen oxides.1-3 Nitrate is abundant in our diet, and particularly high levels are found in many vegetables.3 We examined the effect of 3-day dietary supplementation with either sodium nitrate (at a dose of 0.1 mmol per kilogram of body weight per day) or placebo (sodium chloride, at a dose of 0.1 mmol per kilogram per day) on blood pressure in 17 physically active, healthy volunteers, none of whom smoked (15 men and 2 women; mean age, 24 years). The study had a randomized, double-blind, crossover design with two different treatment periods during which the subjects received either nitrate or placebo; the treatment periods were separated by a washout period of at least 10 days. The compounds were dissolved in water and could not be distinguished by taste or appearance. During the two treatment periods, the subjects were instructed to avoid all foods with a moderate or high nitrate content.3 Systolic blood pressure Effects of 3-Day Dietary Supplementation with Inorganic Nitrate or Placebo on Systolic (Panel A) and Diastolic (Panel B) Blood Pressure in 17 Healthy Volunteers.) and pulse rate did not change significantly after nitrate supplementation, as compared with placebo supplementation. However, the diastolic blood pressure was on average 3.7 mm Hg lower after nitrate supplementation than after placebo supplementation (P<0.02) (Figure 1B), and the mean arterial pressure was 3.2 mm Hg lower (P<0.03). Plasma nitrate levels were higher after nitrate ingestion than after placebo ingestion (mean [±SD], 178±51 and 26±11 μM, respectively; P<0.001), as were plasma nitrite levels (219±105 and 138±38 nM, respectively; P<0.01). The daily nitrate dose used in the study corresponds to the amount normally found in 150 to 250 g of a nitrate-rich vegetable such as spinach, beetroot, or lettuce. It is clear from earlier studies, such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) trial, that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can reduce blood pressure,4,5 but attempts to modify single nutrients have been inconsistent. Therefore, it has been argued that the effect of any individual nutrient is too small to detect in trials. In our study, reduced blood pressure was associated with nitrate supplementation alone; this effect was evident in young normotensive subjects. In fact, it was similar to that seen in the healthy control group in the DASH study.4 The exact mechanism behind the blood-pressure–lowering effect of nitrate needs to be clarified in future studies. We conclude that short-term dietary supplementation with inorganic nitrate reduces diastolic blood pressure in healthy young volunteers.

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.
