Long-term inorganic nitrate administration protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in female rats

Abstract Background The favorable effects of nitrate against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) have primarily focused on male rats and in short term. Here we determine the impact of long-term nitrate intervention on baseline cardiac function and the resistance to MIRI in female rats. Met...
