Brief description This project will investigate the possibility that specifc compounds found in fruits and vegetables can help protect against cardiovascular disease. Some of these compounds (flavonoids) may directly affect blood vessels to improve their function. Some vegetable are very rich in nitrate and the interaction of flavonoids with nitrate may increase the production of nitric oxide, which improves blood vessel function and can lower blood pressure.
