Certain nutrients can be effective in the management of diabetes mellitus. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of dietary nitrate, nitrite, dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC), and nitric oxide (NO) index on some cardiometabolic parameters in patients with diabetes. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 participants with type 2 diabetes. A validated, semi-quantitative, food frequency questionnaire was collected to evaluate dietary intakes. Anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, and biochemical parameters, including glycemic indices, lipid profile, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and serum NO were measured using standard methods. Higher intakes of nitrate and nitrite in our study were primarily attributed to drinking water, vegetables, grains (for nitrate), dairy products, and legumes (for nitrite) rather than higher meat intakes. After adjustment for total energy, MET, BMI, and age, higher intake of nitrate was related to lower HbA1C (<i>p</i> = 0.001) and hs-CRP (<i>p</i> = 0.0.23), and greater HDL-C (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and serum NO (<i>p</i> = 0.008).

Associated with various health benefits, (poly)phenols and their microbially mediated phenolic catabolites represent a potential means to reduce DNA damage. Four colonic-microbiota-derived phenolic catabolites were investigated for their ability to reduce H2O2-induced oxidative DNA damage and modulate the Nrf2-Antixoidant Response Element (ARE) pathway, in normal (CCD 841 CoN) and adenocarcinoma (HT29) colonocyte cell lines.
