  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 ...

  3. Frailty syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frailty_syndrome

    Frailty can lead to increased risk of adverse side effects, complications, and mortality. [12] Older age by itself is not what defines frailty, it is however a syndrome found in older adults. Many adults over 65 are not living with frailty. [13] Frailty is not one specific disease, however is a combination of many factors.

  4. Benefits of physical activity - Wikipedia

    Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population every year. [29] A 2010 review suggested that exercise generally improved sleep for most people, and may help with insomnia, but there is insufficient evidence to draw detailed ...

  5. 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.

  6. Walking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walking

    Women who took 4,500 steps to 7,500 steps a day seemed to have fewer premature deaths compared to those who only took 2,700 steps a day. [10] "Walking lengthened the life of people with diabetes regardless of age, sex, race, body mass index, length of time since diagnosis and presence of complications or functional limitations."

  7. Amyl nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyl_nitrite

    The term "amyl nitrite" encompasses several isomers.In older literature, the common non-systematic name amyl was often used for the pentyl group, where the amyl group is a linear or normal (n) alkyl group, and the resulting amyl nitrite would have the structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 3 CH 2 ONO, also referred to as n-amyl nitrite.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Nitrocellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrocellulose

    Nitrocellulose film base manufactured by Kodak can be identified by the presence of the word "nitrate" in dark letters along one edge; the word only in clear letters on a dark background indicates derivation from a nitrate base original negative or projection print, but the film in hand itself may be a later print or copy negative, made on ...
