NJ researchers investigate effects of dietary nitrate on cognitive function in veterans

(Kessler Foundation) Glenn Wylie, D.Phil, and Jorge Serrador, Ph.D., have won an award from the Rutgers Brain Health Institute (BHI). The grant funds a collaborative study between the Department of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Neuroscience at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and Kessler Foundation. Researchers will explore the influence of dietary nitrate supplementation--in the form of beetroot juice--on cerebral hemodynamics and cognitive function in veterans with GWI.
