Figure 7. Skeletal muscle interstitial nitrite and nitrate before and after 14 days of sucrose intervention.

Muscle interstial levels of the stable metabolites of nitric oxide, nitrite and nitrate (NOx) at rest, during 20 min of passive leg movement and active one leg knee extensor exercise. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 12). ^*Significantly different compared to before the sucrose intervention during passive leg movement. ^**Overall significantly different compared to before the sucrose intervention.
