Modulation of Metabolic Rate by Inorganic Nitrate

January 2, 2014 updated by: Eddie Weitzberg, Karolinska Institutet

Dietary Inorganic Nitrate: Effects on Metabolic Rate, Reactive Oxygen Species Production, Glucose Uptake and Primary Myotube Respiration.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of sodium nitrate on resting metabolic rate, glucose uptake and formation of reactive oxygen species in humans.

  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Crossover Assignment
  • Masking: Double

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Sodium nitrate
0.1 mmol NaNO3 / kg bodyweight / day for three days.
Other: Glucose Uptake
Glucose uptake is measured by oral glucose tolerance test and euglycemic clamp
Other: Resting metabolic rate
Resting metabolic rate is measured by indirect calorimetry after an over-night fast
Placebo Comparator: Sodium Chloride
0.1 mmol NaCl / kg bodyweight / day for three days.
Other: Glucose Uptake
Glucose uptake is measured by oral glucose tolerance test and euglycemic clamp
Other: Resting metabolic rate
Resting metabolic rate is measured by indirect calorimetry after an over-night fast
Active Comparator: Sodium nitrite infusion
Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) at a rate of 1, 10 and 100 nmol kg-1 min-1 (10 minutes per dose) was infused intravenously.
Other: Nitrite infusion
Sodium nitrite or saline was infused at escalating doses at a rate of 1, 10 or 100 nmol kg-1 min-1 (10 minutes per dose) in a randomized, double blinded cross-over fashion
Placebo Comparator: Saline infusion
Saline at a rate corresponding to 1, 10 and 100 nmol NaCl kg-1 min-1 (10 minutes per dose) was infused intravenously.
Other: Nitrite infusion
Sodium nitrite or saline was infused at escalating doses at a rate of 1, 10 or 100 nmol kg-1 min-1 (10 minutes per dose) in a randomized, double blinded cross-over fashion
