Spinach, cauliflower, collard greens, beets, and broccoli are naturally high in nitrates. Nitrates and nitrites are made up of nitrogen and oxygen and can combine with other compounds like sodium and ammonium. Sodium nitrate is commonly used as a preservative in curing meats and ammonium nitrate is found in instant cold packets.
The dose may be repeated at 1 mg/kg if MetHb does not resolve within 30 minutes. Methylene blue should reduce MetHb levels significantly in less than an hour. It does this by acting as a cofactor to increase the activity of NADPH-MetHb reductase [Skold et al. 2011; McDonagh et al. 2013] (See Figure 6).
Jan 22, 2024 · The annual suicide rate using sodium nitrite increased from 0.01–0.09/100,000 person-years over the three-year period.
