Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of a one time dose and 7-days of inorganic nitrate (supplied in the form of beetroot juice) on blood vessel function and resting blood pressure in healthy, postmenopausal women. Participants will drink beetroot juice and a placebo juice on separate visits where blood pressure and blood vessel function will be measured.

Primary Outcome

Using near-infrared spectroscopy, a probe placed on the forearm muscle will be used to measure the tissue saturation index re-perfusion slope following 5 minutes of forearm cuff occlusion.
