Abstract
⺠Nitric oxide regulates mitochondrial respiration by inhibiting cytochrome c oxidase. ⺠Inorganic nitrate and nitrite can form NO and other bioactive nitrogen oxides in vivo. ⺠Complexes in the mitochondrial electron transport system can reduce nitrite to NO. ⺠Dietary nitrate improves mitochondrial efficiency and exercise performance. ⺠The therapeutic aspects of the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway are currently being investigated.
