  2. Biological functions of nitric oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_functions_of...

    The nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway elevates nitric oxide through the sequential reduction of dietary nitrate derived from plant-based foods. [13] Nitrate-rich vegetables, in particular leafy greens, such as spinach and arugula , and beetroot , have been shown to increase cardioprotective levels of nitric oxide with a corresponding ...

    In 1997, adverse effects of low-dose BPA exposure in laboratory animals were first proposed. [13] Modern studies began finding possible connections to health issues caused by exposure to BPA during pregnancy and during development. See Public health regulatory history in the United States and Chemical manufacturers' reactions to bans. As of ...

  4. Peroxyacyl nitrates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxyacyl_nitrates

    In organic chemistry, peroxyacyl nitrates (also known as Acyl peroxy nitrates, APN or PANs) are powerful respiratory and eye irritants present in photochemical smog. They are nitrates produced in the thermal equilibrium between organic peroxy radicals by the gas -phase oxidation of a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or by aldehydes ...

  6. Nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

    In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.

  7. Sodium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_nitrate

    A small amount of the nitrate added to meat as a preservative breaks down into nitrite, in addition to any nitrite that may also be added. The nitrite then reacts with protein-rich foods (such as meat) to produce carcinogenic NOCs (nitroso compounds). NOCs can be formed either when meat is cured or in the body as meat is digested. [20]

  9. Mineral (nutrient) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_(nutrient)

    Phosphorus occurs in amounts of about 2/3 of calcium, and makes up about 1% of a person's body weight. [10] The other major minerals (potassium, sodium, chlorine, sulfur and magnesium) make up only about 0.85% of the weight of the body. Together these eleven chemical elements (H, C, N, O, Ca, P, K, Na, Cl, S, Mg) make up 99.85% of the body.
