The blood pressure lowering effect of nitrate-rich beetroot juice in older people may be due to specific changes in their oral microbiome, according to the largest study of its kind.

Research conducted at the University of Exeter has demonstrated that consuming beetroot juice can significantly reduce blood ...

Moreover, they detected the growth of nitrate-reducing bacteria, Neisseria and Rothia, which are associated with oral health; and a reduction of the bacteria associated with the development of ...

To provide mechanistic constraints to interpret nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) isotope ratios of nitrate ( NO 3 − ), 15N/14N and 18O/16O, in the environment, we measured the enzymatic NO 3 − N and O ...

Billions of years ago— 1.45 billion by some sources —single-celled life forms gobbled up bacteria that, in turn, began to provide them with energy. Eventually, the bacteria became part of the ...

Some oral bacteria help process nitrate, a compound found in foods like beetroot and leafy greens, converting it into molecules that play a role in circulation and brain function.
