    Published in J Appl Physiol

    Key Findings

    Beetroot juice before prolonged sitting prevented the expected decline in leg endothelial function.

    Conclusions

    Acute nitrate intake protects peripheral vascular function during inactivity.

    Limitations

    Acute crossover design in healthy young adults.

    Outcomes Measured

    Capillary Density

    Beetroot juice ingestion before prolonged sitting offsets sitting-induced leg endothelial dysfunction.

    Endothelial Function

    Beetroot juice before prolonged sitting prevented the expected decline in leg endothelial function.
