Dietary Nitrate Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisBackground Epidemiological evidence suggests that green leafy vegetables (GLV) may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).1Kaewpradup T (2026)Dietary Green Leafy Vegetables and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Dietary Nitrate Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisTherefore, a comprehensive synthesis of evidence across study designs is warranted.1Kaewpradup T (2026)Dietary Green Leafy Vegetables and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Dietary Nitrate Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between GLV consumption and CVD risk, as well as related cardiovascular risk factors, including blood pressure (BP) and endothelial function, based on evidence from observational studies and RCTs.1Kaewpradup T (2026)Dietary Green Leafy Vegetables and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Dietary Nitrate Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisHowever, the relationship remains incompletely understood due to inconsistencies between findings from observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs).1Kaewpradup T (2026)Dietary Green Leafy Vegetables and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Dietary Nitrate Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisThis review aims to define the mechanistic, dietary and host conditions under which nitrate bioactivation becomes functionally relevant, with particular attention to its microbial determinants and to the level of inference the evidence actually supports.4Buzatu GD (2026)Dietary Nitrate Bioactivation at the Diet-Microbiota-Host Interface: The Enterosalivary Cycle, Food Matrix, Microbial Determinants and Health Implications-A Narrative Review Supported by a Structured Literature Search.
Dietary Nitrate Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisThe oral microbiota is the principal microbial determinant of the response, whereas the gut microbiota acts as a context-dependent modifier of intestinal redox tone, barrier function and microbial ecology, supported by markedly weaker human evidence.4Buzatu GD (2026)Dietary Nitrate Bioactivation at the Diet-Microbiota-Host Interface: The Enterosalivary Cycle, Food Matrix, Microbial Determinants and Health Implications-A Narrative Review Supported by a Structured Literature Search.
Dietary Nitrate Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisConclusions: We propose the Source-Matrix-Microbiota-Host (SMMH) framework, in which biological impact depends on the interaction between dietary source and dose, food matrix, microbial nitrate-reducing capacity and host susceptibility, rather than on nitrate dose alone, and in which pathway-level, physiological and clinical evidence are kept explicitly distinct.4Buzatu GD (2026)Dietary Nitrate Bioactivation at the Diet-Microbiota-Host Interface: The Enterosalivary Cycle, Food Matrix, Microbial Determinants and Health Implications-A Narrative Review Supported by a Structured Literature Search.
Dietary Nitrate Blood Pressure Meta-AnalysisBackground/Objectives: Dietary nitrate, long framed through food-safety concerns about N-nitroso compound formation, is now also recognised as a substrate of the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway.4Buzatu GD (2026)Dietary Nitrate Bioactivation at the Diet-Microbiota-Host Interface: The Enterosalivary Cycle, Food Matrix, Microbial Determinants and Health Implications-A Narrative Review Supported by a Structured Literature Search.
