Nitric oxide : biology and chemistry 20201213
Reduction of salivary nitrate to nitrite by oral nitrate reductase (NR) expressing bacteria has emerged as an integral pathway in regulating nitric oxide (NO) homeostasis and signaling. The oral microbiome is critical for this pathway. Variations in this pathway may underlie variable responses in the magnitude by which dietary or therapeutic nitrate modulates NO-signaling. The relationships between oral microbes and NR activity, and the factors that affect this relationship remain unclear howeve ...[more]
