Abstract
Male SHR-rats were offered 50 mmol/L nitrite in their drinking water d uring 4, 8 and 12 months. Systemic arterial blood pressure was signifi cantly decreased. Compared to untreated controls no significant effect s were observed on Mg and Ca levels of heart muscle and kidneys. After 12 months serum Mg increased by about 12% in the control group compar ed to the treatment group, and serum Ca increased by about 4%. If diet ary Mg supply is sufficient no interactions between Mg and nitrite are to be expected.
