Effects of intake of nitrate, nitrite and isosorbid dinitrate (ISDN) on plasma nitrate/nitrite contents in rabbits

ABSTRACT

Background: The objective of the present study was to demonstrate the changes in plasma levels of nitrate and nitrite in rabbits after oral [intragastric] administration of inorganic nitrate [KNO[3]], inorganic nitrite [NaNO[2]] and organic nitrate [isosorbide dinitrate, ISDN]
