the aim of the current investigation was to examine if dietary nitrate supplementation would improve vascular control in hypertensive postmenopausal women (PMW). We tested the hypotheses that acute dietary nitrate supplementation would 1) significantly decrease arterial blood pressure (BP) at rest and during exercise, 2) increase limb blood flow during steady-state (SS) exercise, and 3) improve functional sympatholysis during SS exercise.
