Abstract Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) has infected more than 3.0 million people
worldwide and killed more than 200,000 as of April 27, 2020. In this White Paper, we …

Background Climate change and associated increases in climate variability will likely further
exacerbate global health disparities. More research is needed, particularly in developing …

Ingestion of dietary (inorganic) nitrate elevates circulating and tissue levels of nitrite via
bioconversion in the entero-salivary circulation. In addition, nitrite is a potent vasodilator in …

Single dose administration of dietary inorganic nitrate acutely reduces blood pressure (BP)
in normotensive healthy volunteers, via bioconversion to the vasodilator nitric oxide. We …

Circulating nitrate (NO3−), derived from dietary sources or endogenous nitric oxide
production, is extracted from blood by the salivary glands, accumulates in saliva, and is then …

Lifestyle modifications are one of the cornerstones of hypertension prevention and
treatment. We aimed to systematically review hypertension guidelines on their …

Elevation of circulating nitrite (NO2−) levels causes vasodilatation and lowers blood
pressure in healthy volunteers. Whether these effects and the underpinning mechanisms …

BACKGROUND. Cardiovascular disease occurs at lower incidence in premenopausal
females compared with age-matched males. This variation may be linked to sex differences …

Background We hypothesised that host-response biomarkers of viral infections might
contribute to early identification of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2, which is critical to …
