Effects of dietary nitrate on oxygen cost during exercise

TLDR
This study investigated if dietary nitrate had any effect on metabolic and circulatory parameters during exercise and found that it did not.
Abstract
AIM: Nitric oxide (NO), synthesized from l-arginine by NO synthases, plays a role in adaptation to physical exercise by modulating blood flow, muscular contraction and glucose uptake and in the con

The nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide pathway in physiology and therapeutics

TL;DR: This Review discusses the emerging important biological functions of the nitrate–nitrite–NO pathway, and highlights studies that implicate the therapeutic potential of nitrate and nitrite in conditions such as myocardial infarction, stroke, systemic and pulmonary hypertension, and gastric ulceration.

Food sources of nitrates and nitrites: the physiologic context for potential health benefits

TL;DR: Data call into question the rationale for recommendations to limit nitrate and nitrite consumption from plant foods; a comprehensive reevaluation of the health effects of food sources of nitrates and nitrites is appropriate.

Dietary nitrate supplementation reduces the O2 cost of low-intensity exercise and enhances tolerance to high-intensity exercise in humans

TL;DR: The reduced O2 cost of exercise following increased dietary nitrate intake has important implications for the understanding of the factors that regulate mitochondrial respiration and muscle contractile energetics in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary inorganic nitrate improves mitochondrial efficiency in humans.

TL;DR: It is concluded that dietary nitrate has profound effects on basal mitochondrial function and whole-body oxygen consumption in healthy volunteers and may have implications for exercise physiology- and lifestyle-related disorders that involve dysfunctional mitochondria.
