After the clinical work as a pediatric cardiologist for 20 years, I started the research work in 2001, and currently investigating the therapeutic significance of dietary nitrite and nitrate. Because we and other researchers suggest that the therapeutic effect of nitrite and nitrate, rich in vegetables such as spinach, lettuce and beetroot, on life style-related diseases including hypertension, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. I believe that the decrease in endogenous vascular endothelial NO production with ageing might underlie these disease status, and dietary nitrite and nitrate easily achievable by the daily intake of vegetables could provide a NO backup system as

Dr. Grant is a Biochemical Pharmacologist and Clinical Associate Professor at the Sydney Adventist Hospital Clinical School, University of Sydney and Head of the Australasian Research Institute. Dr Grant's research focusses on characterizing, at the molecular level, how lifestyle and environment (e.g. emotional stress, diet and exercise), produce changes in the body's biochemistry that lead toward either health or disease; including oxidative stress, inflammation and changes in NAD(H) metabolism. A practical goal of this research is identification of a profile of early subclinical disease markers enabling effective intervention before irreparable damage to tissue occurs precipitating a clinical crisis.
