متن کاملNutritional epidemiology in the context of nitric oxide biology: a risk-benefit evaluation for dietary nitrite and nitrate.
The discovery of the nitric oxide (NO) pathway in the 1980s represented a critical advance in understanding cardiovascular disease, and today a number of human diseases are characterized by NO insufficiency. In the interim, recent biomedical research has demonstrated that NO can be modulated by the diet independent of its enzymatic synthesis from l-arginine, e.g., the consumption of nitrite- an...
متن کاملThe effect of dietary nitrate on nitrate and nitrite excretion in man.
Dietary nitrate and nitrite may affect colonic pathophysiology. These anions influence fermentation, and nitrite has been shown to augment sodium absorption by the colon and participate in the formation of N-nitroso compounds. There is, however, no general agreement as to how much dietary nitrate and nitrite reaches the colon. To help resolve this question, balance studies were performed on six...
متن کاملPancreatic cancer and drinking water and dietary sources of nitrate and nitrite.
N-Nitroso compounds, known animal carcinogens, are formed endogenously from drinking water and dietary sources of nitrate and nitrite. The authors conducted a population-based case-control study of pancreatic cancer in Iowa to determine whether increased consumption of nitrate and nitrite from drinking water and dietary sources was associated with risk. They linked detailed water source histori...
