Nitric oxide (NO) is important to cardiovascular health (CVH), and its bioavailability could be regulated by the antioxidant effect of polyphenols, improving endothelial function and consequently blood pressure (BP). However, scant research has been carried out on NO and CVH correlates in adolescent populations. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the association between NO and the CVH status and other health factors in adolescents. NO, total polyphenol excretion (TPE), anthropometric measurements, BP, blood lipid profile, blood glucose, diet, physical activity, and smoking status were recorded, while CVH score was classified as ideal, intermediate, and poor. Negative associations were observed between NO and body mass index, body fat percentage, BP, and triglycerides; and positive associations between NO and skeletal muscle percentage, HDL-cholesterol, fruit and vegetable intake, and TPE was observed. To capture more complex interactions among different factors, multiple linear regression was performed, obtaining a significant association between NO and fruit and vegetable intake (β = 0.175), TPE (β = 0.225), and systolic BP (β = -0.235). We conclude that urinary NO levels are positively associated with the consumption of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants such as polyphenols and negatively associated with systolic BP.
一氧化氮(NO)对心血管健康(CVH)很重要,其生物利用度可通过多酚的抗氧化作用来调节,从而改善内皮功能并进而降低血压(BP)。然而,针对青少年人群中NO与CVH相关性的研究却很少。因此,我们的目的是调查青少年中NO与CVH状况及其他健康因素之间的关联。记录了NO、总多酚排泄量(TPE)、人体测量数据、血压、血脂谱、血糖、饮食、身体活动和吸烟状况,同时将CVH评分分为理想、中等和较差。观察到NO与体重指数、体脂百分比、血压和甘油三酯之间呈负相关;并且观察到NO与骨骼肌百分比、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇、水果和蔬菜摄入量以及TPE之间呈正相关。为了捕捉不同因素之间更复杂的相互作用,进行了多元线性回归,得出NO与水果和蔬菜摄入量(β = 0.175)、TPE(β = 0.225)和收缩压(β = -0.235)之间存在显著关联。我们得出结论,尿中NO水平与富含抗氧化剂(如多酚)的水果和蔬菜的摄入量呈正相关,与收缩压呈负相关。
