This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial in healthy men. Subjects will take either a placebo or setria performance blend (L-citrulline + glutathione) for 8 days. At the day 8, subjects run on the treadmill to measure the time to exhaustion at 90%, 100%, and 110%
Dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids, bioactive micronutrients that increase the bioavailability of nitric oxide as well as decrease the rate in which nitric oxide is removed from the body. Through increasing the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) to bodily tissues, the tissues are better able to
We expect that over a period of 6 years, 500 older hypertensive women will be screened, 200 of them will be enrolled, and 100 will complete the entire project.
Aim 1: To test the hypothesis that chronic heat therapy combined with an antihypertensive drug is superior to drug treatment alone in
Participants Thirty healthy, physically active males (n=15) and females (n=15), 18-25 years of age completed the study. Subjects had not participated in another clinical trial or consumed another study related investigation product within 30 days of enrollment. If a supplement containing L-arginine
Background and rationale The vast majority of the research involving dietary nitrate supplementation, namely beetroot juice, has been performed mostly on samples of healthy populations. A few clinical populations have been studied, including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, chronic

According to WHO experts, WHZ and MUAC can be used independently to indicate severe acute malnutrition (WH. There is however a significant and sometimes huge discrepancy between these two criteria: they do not usually identify the same children as acutely malnourished;
1. Subjects will be patients with Heart Failure (HF).
2. All subjects will be consented.
3. All subjects will give permission for the investigators to review their medical records.
4. After consenting to participate, subjects will be instructed to refrain from spitting or the use of an antibacterial
Heart failure (HF) is epidemic with aging and prevalence of HF is steadily increasing as the population of older adults expands. Despite the fact that age always stands out as a leading risk factor for HF incidence as well as for poor HF prognosis, few HF trials focus specifically on aging
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although affecting the heart at first, it is now recognized that disability is largely due to impaired cerebral and skeletal muscle blood flow and consequently microvascular oxygenation. Reduced muscle oxygenation
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE About 50% of patients with heart failure have a normal ejection fraction (HFNEF). Although traditionally considered a more benign disorder than the related heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), the mortality figures for patients with HFNEF and HFREF are now
Subjects Subjects with type 2 DM, of both genders, aged between 40 and 65 years, without coronary artery disease, characterized by a negative maximum exercise test, will be studied. This study will be carried out at the Prevention and Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Unit Unicardio, in Hospital Santa
Recent work in humans suggests that increasing nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability may induce physiological changes beyond the well known hemodynamic effects (Dejam, Hunter et al. 2004; Webb, Patel et al. 2008). NO plays a key role in the regulation of blood flow, muscle contractility, myocyte
It is estimated that approximately 4 out of 10 people with an enlarged heart due to heart failure develop MR, referred to as secondary MR. This type of MR is caused by enlargement of the left ventricle (LV), one of the heart's main chambers. In turn, the enlargement leads to stretching of certain
