Effects of acute dietary nitrate supplementation on aortic blood pressures and pulse wave characteristics in post-menopausal women

ConclusionsDietary nitrate supplementation favorably modifies aortic systolic and mean blood pressure under resting conditions in healthy postmenopausal women. Acute supplementation of nitrate does not, however, appear to restore indices of aortic stiffness in this group. Future work should evaluate chronic, long-term effects of this non-pharmacological supplement.
