Hypoxic modulation of exogenous nitrite-induced vasodilation in humans.
BACKGROUND: It has been proposed that under hypoxic conditions, nitrite may release nitric oxide, which causes potent vasodilation. We hypothesized that nitrite would have a greater dilator effect in capacitance than in resistance vessels because of lower oxygen tension and that resistance-vessel d...
