Is There Any Correlation between Insulin Resistance and Nitrate Plasma Concentration in White Coat Hypertensive Patients?

Abstract: We evaluated a relationship between nitric oxide plasma correlation and insulin resistance in white coat hypertensive patients. Patients were screened for white coat hypertension using an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was used to assess insulin resistance, and plasma nitrate concentrations were determined by chemiluminescence. The HOMA-IR was significantly higher in hypertensive (3.84 ± 0.62) when compared to white coat (2.11 ± 0.36) a… Show more

“…Our analyses suggest that nitrate and nitrite concentrations mark different processes in vivo. An increased intake of nitrate is associated with lower lipid accumulation and inflammation and promotes insulin secretion, glucose uptake, mitochondrial efficiency and browning of adipose tissue [7,15,18,[36][37][38]. Therefore, increased nitrate concentrations could play an important role in attenuating MetS and T2DM.…”

“…However, there is conflicting data about the protective effects of nitrate and nitrite on oxidative stress in patients with T2DM [13]. In most human studies describing the association between nitrate and nitrite with markers of the MetS, the dietary contribution to circulating nitrate/nitrite levels was not taken into consideration [14][15][16]. Dietary nitrate is metabolized to nitrite by the oral microbial flora and may produce NO under certain conditions, and nitrate intake can be elevated with increased consumption of green leafy vegetables and beetroots [17,18].…”

“…NO is rela vely unstable in the presence of oxygen and rapidly autoxidates, making its concentra on diffi cult to measure. The indirect determina on of the NO concentra on based on the concentra on of nitrate has been used successfully (12) . Findings involving salivary NO levels in physiologically normal mucosa and oral mucosal lesions prompted the use of this parameter in this study, which aimed to determine whether clinical oral cavity assessment indicators are associated with the NO concentra on determined indirectly using the nitrate concentra on in pa ents with oncologic and hematologic diseases before the start of intravenous chemotherapy.…”
