Abstract
Dietary nitrate (〖NO〗_3^-) supplementation has been associated with improved vascular and metabolic health. We conducted a double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled RCT to investigate the effects of 7-day consumption of beetroot juice compared with placebo on 1) blood pressure (BP) measured in resting conditions and during exercise, 2) cardiac and peripheral vascular function and 3) biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress and endothelial integrity. Twenty non-smoking healthy participants aged 60-75y and BMI 20.0-29.9kg/m2 were recruited. Measurement were conducted before and after each 7-day intervention period. Consumption of 〖NO〗_3^- had no effect on resting systolic and diastolic BP. 〖NO〗_3^- consumption did not improve indexes of central and peripheral cardiac function responses during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Dietary 〖NO〗_3^- supplementation did not modify biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress and endothelial integrity. This study do not support the short-term benefits of dietary 〖NO〗_3^- supplementation on physiological and biochemical markers of vascular health in older healthy adults. Trial Registration: ISRCTN19064955
