Nitrate reduction capacity of the oral microbiota is impaired in periodontitis: potential implications for systemic nitric oxide availability
2023-06-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The reduction of nitrate to nitrite by the oral microbiota has been proposed to be important for oral health and results in nitric oxide formation that can improve cardiometabolic conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes. Studies of bacterial composition in subgingival plaque suggest that nitrate-reducing bacteria are associated with healthy conditions, but the impact of periodontitis on n...
