Background summary
Rationale: Dietary nitrate supplementation has been associated with several cardiovascular benefits such as a reduction in blood pressure [1, 2] and improved revascularization in chronic ischemia [3]. Whilst dietary nitrate has ergogenic effects in healthy individuals, these earlier findings of the benefits of dietary nitrate suggests that ergogenic effects may also apply to clinical settings, e.g., patients with peripheral arterial disease [4]. Yet, there is still very limited evidence in this patient population. Furthermore, the majority of studies has used beetroot juice as the nitrate carrier and it is unknown whether potential benefits could also be induced through other strategies such as increasing habitual nitrate intake through the diet.
Objective: The aim of the current study is to:
Investigate the acute effect of beetroot juice (BRJ) and high nitrate vegetables (HNV) vs. nitrate depleted beetroot juice (placebo (PL)) on exercise tolerance and vascular function in participants with diagnosed peripheral arterial disease.
Study design: randomized cross-over intervention study
Study population: 18 patients diagnosed with PAD.
Intervention: In a randomized cross-over manner, participants will follow an acute supplementation protocol in which they will eat a high nitrate meal in de form of vegetables and/or ingest 400 mg (6.5 mmol) nitrate in the form of concentrated red beetroot juice and/or placebo.
Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary parameter will be exercise tolerance. Vascular function will be determined throughout the trials as secondary parameters. Tertiary parameters will be plasma nitrate and nitrite and dietary intake.

Inclusion criteria
- stable intermittent claudication for at least three month;
- ABI (the ratio of BP in the lower legs to the BP in the arms) <0.9 and/or an ABI decreased by more than 0.15 after treadmill testing regardless of their ABI at rest;
