What's the difference between nitrate and nitrite?

Nitrate


Definition:

  • (n.) A salt of nitric acid.

  • (13) Paracoccus (Micrococcus) denitrificans and Escherichia coli oxidizing succinate rapidly ceased to reduce nitrate when oxygen was available, and equally rapidly commenced nitrate reduction when all the oxygen had been consumed.
  • (14) Lanthanum nitrate used in this investigations is a valuable marker of the intercellular spaces.
  • (15) Orotic acid inhibited, dose-dependently DNA synthesis in hepatocytes induced by epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor alpha, hepatocyte growth factor, acidic fibroblast growth factor, or plasma from rats exposed to various liver cell-proliferative stimuli, such as two-thirds partial hepatectomy, lead nitrate, cyproterone acetate, ethylene dibromide, or a diet deficient in choline.
  • (16) It is suggested that the atmosphere of Athens favours the formation of secondary direct-acting mutagens due to the oxidation and nitration of PAH by ozone and nitrogen oxides, which are more abundant in the late spring months.
  • (17) Among other evidence against the classical theory for the mechanism of chlorate toxicity, is the finding that not all mutants lacking nitrate reductase are clorate resistant.
  • (18) Since no evaluation of the relative merits of electro and chemical cautery has been reported, a prospective randomized study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of electro-cautery and cautery with silver nitrate.
  • (19) Total bacterial counts, nitrate-reducing bacteria and nitrite concentration were determined in fasting gastric juice before and after 4 weeks of treatment with a strong or with a mild antacid drug, a placebo preparation and the spasmolytic agent papaverine which is known to inhibit gastric evacuation.
  • (20) The effect of ammonia is partially reversed by nitrate.

Nitrite


Definition:

  • (n.) A salt of nitrous acid.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Amplitude of the musical vibrations decreased by inhalation of amyl nitrite, but increased by infusion of methoxamine.
  • (2) Optical difference spectroscopy was used to investigate the kinetics of product formation during the reaction of the respiratory chain with nitrite.
  • (3) Total bacterial counts, nitrate-reducing bacteria and nitrite concentration were determined in fasting gastric juice before and after 4 weeks of treatment with a strong or with a mild antacid drug, a placebo preparation and the spasmolytic agent papaverine which is known to inhibit gastric evacuation.
  • (4) This would explain why the presence of ammonium sulphate appreciably offsets the effects of decreasing pH and also the exponential relationship between rate of nitrite loss and ammonium sulphate concentration.
  • (5) For comparison we investigated several structural analogues with respect to their nitric oxide or nitrite ion releasing potency.
  • (6) Our observation leads to the suggestion that, in vivo, either rhodanese is maintained in its more stable sulfur-substituted form or cellular compartmentalization prevents inactivation by nitrite.
  • (7) Sodium nitrite, a substance with unknown promoting activity, effectively uncoupled cells.
  • (8) The tricyclic psychotropic drug opipramol (Insidon) reacts in vitro with sodium nitrite in acidic solution to form products including mutagens for Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100.
  • (9) This indicates the loss of both assimilatory and dissimilatory nitrate reduction but only dissimilatory nitrite reduction in the mutants selected with chlorate.
  • (10) It was demonstrated that nitrite ions may be produced in metronidazole solutions at the time of preparation or during storage by the effects of temperature and light.
  • (11) Whole-chain formate-nitrate reductase activity, assayed with formate as the electron donor and measuring the amount of nitrite produced, was restored to wild-type levels in the mutants by addition of 10(-4)m molybdate to the growth medium.
  • (12) The aim of this study was to follow the changes in the levels of nitrates and nitrites throughout the process of fermentation of sauerkraut from white and red cabbage and red beets.
