Effects of Oral Nitrate Supplementation on Vascular and Pulmonary Oxidative Stress Markers Following Traffic Pollution Exposure
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Beet juice and Orange juice for Air Pollution. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The study hypothesis is that drinking different juices will affect the body's responses to air pollution. Subjects will be exposed to air pollution during a 2-hour car ride on the NJ (New Jersey) Turnpike. Each subject will be asked to do this twice. Before one car ride, the subject will be asked to drink orange juice. Before the other car ride, the subject will be asked to drink beet juice. Samples of blood and exhaled breath will be collected before, immediately after, and 24 hours after each car ride. Levels of nitrites/nitrates will be measured in the blood and breath.
