Clinical Trial

Genotype by environment and genotype by yield*trait interactions in sugar beet: analyzing yield stability and determining key traits association.

This study examined the stability of root yield and white sugar yield, as well as the association between key traits in sugar beet genotypes. The results identified specific genotypes that had superior performance and stability in terms of yield and key traits. This information is important for breeding programs aiming to enhance crop production.

Acute and short-term beetroot juice nitrate-rich ingestion enhances cardiovascular responses following aerobic exercise in postmenopausal women with arterial hypertension: A triple-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Postmenopausal women experience elevated blood pressure due to reduced levels of nitric oxide synthases (NOS). Understanding this helps manage hypertension and develop targeted treatments.

Adhatoda vasica and Tinospora cordifolia extracts ameliorate clinical and molecular markers in mild COVID-19 patients: a randomized open-label three-armed study.

Scientists studied the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infections and found that while most cases are mild, a significant number of infected individuals develop severe respiratory illness. This highlights the need for a safe and effective treatment for COVID-19.

Influence of acute dietary nitrate supplementation timing on nitrate metabolism, central and peripheral blood pressure and exercise tolerance in young men.

They found that beetroot juice increases nitrite in the blood, lowers blood pressure, and improves exercise performance, especially in the afternoon. Time of day can affect results.
