A greater quantity of oral nitrate-reducing bacteria was found to be associated with reduced plasma glucose and insulin resistance in young to middle-aged adults, as well as a drop in the mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) of normotensive individuals, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
