    Dietary Nitrate Enhances the Contractile Properties of Human Skeletal Muscle
    (Wolters Kluwer, 2018-10) Coggan, Andrew R.; Peterson, Linda R.; Cellular and Integrative Physiology, School of Medicine
    Dietary nitrate, a source of nitric oxide (NO), improves the contractile properties of human muscle. We present the hypothesis that this is due to nitrosylation of the ryanodine receptor and increased NO signaling via the soluble guanyl cyclase-cyclic guanosine monophosphate-protein kinase G pathway, which together increase the free intracellular Ca concentration along with the Ca sensitivity of the myofilaments themselves.
