Abstract in brief

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major health risk for postmenopausal women, and dietary nitrate from sources like beetroot juice may help improve vascular health by boosting nitric oxide levels and endothelial function.
A clinical trial with early and late postmenopausal women compared the effects of high-nitrate beetroot juice to a nitrate-depleted placebo over seven days, measuring changes in brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) to assess endothelial function before and after ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Results showed that beetroot juice improved resting FMD after seven days but did not prevent the decrease in FMD following ischemia-reperfusion injury, indicating that its protective effects are time-sensitive and
