Effect of Combined Treatment With α‐Lipoic Acid and Acetyl‐L‐Carnitine on Vascular Function and Blood Pressure in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Craig J. McMackin,Michael E. Widlansky,Naomi M. Hamburg,Alex L. Huang,Susan Weller,Monika Holbrook,Noyan Gokce,Tory M. Hagen,John F. Keaney,Joseph A. Vita +9 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the effects of combined α‐lipoic acid/acetyl‐L‐carnitine treatment and placebo on vasodilator function and blood pressure in 36 subjects with coronary artery disease and found mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to the regulation of blood pressure and vascular tone.
Non-invasive assessment of brachial artery endothelial vasomotor function: the effect of cuff position on level of discomfort and vasomotor responses.
Timi C Mannion,Joseph A. Vita,John F. Keaney,Emelia J. Benjamin,Liza M. Hunter,Joseph F. Polak +5 more
TL;DR: Assessment of flow-mediated brachial artery dilation using cuff occlusion of the arm above or below the elbow to stimulate flow is well tolerated and appears to be suitable for a large-scale study of endothelial function.

Enhanced nitric oxide-mediated vascular relaxation in radial artery compared with internal mammary artery or saphenous vein.
TL;DR: NO-mediated vasomotor properties of the radial artery are greater than that of internal mammary artery or saphenous vein, and this difference is related to endothelium-derived nitric oxide production of NO and/or vessel sensitivity to NO.

Effects of Concord grape juice on ambulatory blood pressure in prehypertension and stage 1 hypertension
Mustali M Dohadwala,Naomi M. Hamburg,Monika Holbrook,Brian H Kim,Mai-Ann Duess,Aaron Levit,Megan Titas,William B. Chung,Felix B Vincent,Tara L. Caiano,Alissa A. Frame,John F. Keaney,Joseph A. Vita +12 more
TL;DR: No effect of grape juice on ambulatory blood pressure is observed in this cohort of relatively healthy individuals with modestly elevated blood pressure, and secondary analyses suggested favorable effects on nocturnal dip and glucose homeostasis that may merit further investigation.

TL;DR: In this article, the acute effects of a nitrate-rich meal containing spinach on arterial stiffness and blood pressure in healthy men and women were assessed, and the results showed that spinach resulted in an eightfold increase in salivary nitrite and a sevenfold increase of salivial nitrate concentrations from pre-meal to 120min post meal.
