- 2015, Jun Kobayashi, Kazuo Ohtake, Hiroyuki Uchida, “NO-Rich Diet for Lifestyle-Related Diseases”, in Nutrients[1], volume 7, :
- As mentioned above, different from the effects of the direct elevation of nitrite concentration in the plasma, the entero-salivary route of dietary nitrate/nitrite might enhance the availability of NO through the formation of S-nitrosothiols and its transnitrosylation to the other thiol residues of proteins, suggesting that, depending on the tissues and organs, separate metabolic pathways might exist for NO availability in this entero-salivary route.
