Summary
It is known that alcohol consumption can lead to cognitive impairment and dysregulation of inflammatory responses. A preliminary randomized controlled trial conducted by our research team has suggested that nitrate may improve cognition in hospitalized patients with alcohol dependence. To further expand the population and applicability, this study aims to explore the effects of nitrate on cognition in a real-world population of heavy drinkers. The researchers have designed a two-stage clinical trial: the first stage involves the analysis of existing data, and the second stage will recruit 43-54 new participants for a 14-day dietary inorganic nitrate (nitrate-rich beetroot juice, \~750 mg NO3- /d) intervention.
