Background and Objectives Physical activity is associated with lower cardiovascular and all-cause
mortality. However, the effects of different exercise modalities on arterial stiffness are …

Background Regular exercise is associated with enhanced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability.
Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is used widely to assess endothelial function (EF) and NO …

Background Observational studies indicate that higher vitamin C intake is associated with
reduced risk for cardiovascular diseases. However, randomised controlled trials (RCT) …

Background Diets rich in inorganic nitrate are associated with lower blood pressure, an
effect that may be mediated by an improvement of endothelial function (EF). Therefore, a …

Background and aims: Worldwide, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remains as the main
cause of mortality. Observational studies supports an association between intake of tomato …

Ageing is a multifactorial process associated with reduced function and increased risk of
morbidity and mortality. Recently, nine cellular and molecular hallmarks of ageing have been …

Randomised controlled trials (RCT) testing the effects of antioxidant supplements on
endothelial function (EF) have reported conflicting results. We aimed to investigate the effects of …

Objectives: Dietary nitrate supplementation has been shown to lower blood pressure (BP)
particularly in short-term clinical trials. Whether these effects are sustained in the long-term …

Background In addition to regulating calcium homoeostasis and bone health, vitamin D
influences vascular and metabolic processes including endothelial function (EF) and insulin …

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient with important antioxidant properties. Higher vitamin C
intake appears to be associated with positive effects on cardiovascular risk factors in cohort …
