FIGURE 1
A schematic diagram of the physiologic disposition of nitrate, nitrite, and nitric oxide from exogenous (dietary) and endogenous sources. The action of bacterial nitrate reductases on the tongue and mammalian enzymes that have nitrate reductase activity in tissues are noted by the number 1. Bacterial nitrate reductases are noted by the number 2. Mammalian enzymes with nitrite reductase activity are noted by the number 3.

FIGURE 2
Forest plot of randomized clinical trials investigating the effects of beetroot juice and inorganic nitrate supplementation on SBP. A random model was applied to obtain the pooled mean differences in SBP. Data for SBP are presented as mean differences and 95% CI. Two trials were reported in the same manuscript (33). BP, blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure.

Interesting. I will reshape my post soon in order to restore the figures and add some data.
