1. The present study investigated whether a low nitrate/nitrite diet could minimize variability in the measurement of endogenous plasma and urine nitric oxide (NO) metabolites, nitrate and nitrite (NOx) in normal subjects. 2. Nitrate and nitrite concentrations were measured in plasma and urine as indicators of NO production in six subjects during a free diet and then during a low nitrate/nitrite diet for 6 days. 3. The plasma concentration and 24 h urine NOx/creatinine ratio were significantly lower on the low nitrate/nitrite diet than on the free diet (P < 0.01). Nitric oxide production appeared to vary greatly within and between subjects, but these variations were substantially decreased by the fourth day of a low nitrate/nitrite diet. 4. Human plasma and urine NOx measurements should be determined after a low nitrate/nitrite diet for at least 4 days.
