This document provides information about a book titled "Food, Nutrition and the Nitric Oxide Pathway" that analyzes the effects of foods and nutrients on nitric oxide production in the human body. The book contains chapters from experts in the field clarifying the connections between dietary intake and nitric oxide, and how certain foods can enhance nitric oxide levels to prevent and treat diseases. It offers new knowledge on using diet to modulate nitric oxide production as an alternative to medical interventions.

■ Original work on diet and disease
■ Shows novel ties between foods and NO enhancement
■ Offers evidence-based nutritional interventions
■ Practical source for specialists investigating food and health
This book provides a scientific analysis of the effects of foods and nutrients on the NO
pathway in humans. Contributors to the book clarify novel chemical and biochemical
connections between dietary intake and nitric oxide, particularly in cases of NO defi-
ciency. In this context, the book addresses how specific foods can restore nitric oxide
production and bioactivity—without medical interventions. A variety of evidential data is
presented showing how NO-rich dietary elements are implicated in disease prevention
and modulation. The book offers new knowledge for food technologists, food manufac-
turers, nutrition researchers, and healthcare practitioners.
From the Foreword by Louis J. Ignarro, Nobel Laureate in Physiology/Medicine
"The body of work contained in this volume, linking NO to food and nutrition, may have revolu-
tionary implications in terms of developing strategies to combat heart disease and many other
contemporary diseases associated with NO deficiency. Proving that a natural and inexpensive regi-
men of foods rich in nitric oxide activity does restore NO homeostasis can have profound effects
on human health…The research presented in this text provides an important expansion of NO
work…(and) Dr. Nathan Bryan, the editor…is to be congratulated for…communicating new knowl-
edge and assembling the world's experts in their fields."
