Nat Med 1995]. This article discusses results of The Chronic Effects of Beetroot Juice in Hypertensive Subjects study, which assessed whether a once-daily ingestion of dietary nitrate would exert a sustained effect on blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive patients [NCT01405898].</style></abstract><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume></record></records></xml>
