Clinical trials: Blood Plasma Nitrite
Sickle Cell Anemia
Study of Beet Juice for Patients With Sickle Cell Anemia
The investigators hypothesize that increasing plasma nitrite using dietary nitrate will improve platelet function and red cell deformability and decrease MCHC in patients with sickle cell disease.

Probiotic Effect on Dietary Nitrate to Plasma Nitrite Production ( OPEDNPN )
Nitric Oxide (NO) is an important molecule that is produced naturally in the body and that helps maintain healthy blood flow. Low availability of NO contributes to many diseases while administration of NO is therapeutic.

Blood Pressure Regulation
The Effects of Nitrate-Rich Mouthwash on Vascular Tone
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. One important contributing factor to high blood pressure is reduced availability of nitric oxide (NO).
