Investigating the Link between the Oral Microbiome and Cardiovascular Health in Regards to Nitrate/Nitrite Metabolism.
Abstract
This thesis evaluated nitrate metabolism and the link between cardiovascular health and periodontal disease. The first study compared effects of high-nitrate vegetables and pharmacological salt supplementation on the oral microbiome composition in hypertensive individuals. Seventy participants (50-70-y-old, clinical systolic BP (SBP) 130-159 mmHg, diastolic BP (DBP)
