EFFECTS OF BEETROOT JUICE, PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTATION, AND RESISTANCE TRAINING ON STRENGTH IN OLDER ADULTS
… tested to improve these age-related declines. Beetroot juice is a dietary source high in nitrates. PURPOSE: The primary purpose was to examine the effects of this intervention on quadriceps muscle strength in healthy older adults. Secondary outcomes were to determine feasibility regarding …

The Effects of Acute Dietary Nitrate Supplementation on Constant Work Rate Exercise in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients
… of acute nitrate supplementation in the form of beetroot juice on exercise capacity in patients with COPD. Six mild to moderately diseased patients completed four visits and were randomized to one of two treatment groups (beetroot juice, for visit 3, placebo for visit 4; or placebo for visit 3, …

Determination of phytochemicals in vegetable juices and their effects on postprandial glycaemia
… content of 23 commercially available vegetable juices which are available on the UK market, utilising 6 biochemical assays, before and after in vitro digestion. Beetroot juice had the highest total antioxidant capacity and total polyphenol content regardless of the method of analysis, and both …

Nitrate Consumption and Physical Function in ICU Patients
… er nitrate rich (400 mg) or nitrate depleted beetroot juice (placebo) for the duration of their hospital stay. Plasma nitrate and nitrite were measured prior to and three hours post consumption on the first dose. Physical function was measured at hospita l discharge using the Short Physical …

Determination of endogenous and dietary-derived nitric oxide production in exhaled air of adult humans
… the amount of dietary nitrate (nitrate-rich beetroot juice) and eNO concentration where eNO concentrations of 31±16 ppb, 34±31 ppb and 38±30 ppb; p=0.42 were measured for 35 mL, 70 mL and 140 mL of beetroot juice, respectively. A transient increase in eNO was observed after 30 minutes …

Nitrate supplementation does not alter the V̇O2p SC-muscle fatigue relationship in recreationally active men
… consumed NO3- -rich (BRJ) or -depleted (PLAC) beetroot juice daily for 20 d. Participants completed pre/post-condition incremental leg cycling V̇O2p-max and 3-min “sprint” verification exercises. An initial 5 d loading phase was followed, on alternate days, by single trials of VH- or …

Dietary nitrate supplementation augments nitric oxide synthase-dependent and independent reflex cutaneous vasodilation in healthy humans
Beetroot juice (BRJ) has been shown to increase NO-dependent dilation through both NOS-dependent and NOS-independent pathways. We hypothesized BRJ supplementation would augment reflex cutaneous active vasodilation. Subjects were equipped with two microdialysis fibers on the forearm and randomly …

Targeted and untargeted metabolomic profiling of human serum, urine and brain by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS)
… seven participants before and after taking of beetroot juice (strong anti-oxidant and a source of nitrate).;The current results concluded that this derivatisation method improved the sensitivity and selectivity of LC-MS analysis by increasing the response factors for the positively tagged …

TRANSLATIONAL APPROACH TO NEUROMUSCULAR FUNCTION AND ITS RECOVERY: EFFECT OF LIMBS, AGING, AND DISEASE.
… supplementation period with either nitrate-rich beetroot juice or nitratedepleted beetroot juice. Neuromuscular function evaluation, comprising voluntary and electrically evoked isometric contractions of the plantar flexors, was performed on the dominant and nondominant leg. Our results report …
