NO is crucial for endothelial function and vascular health. Plasma nitrite (NO2-) is the main oxidation product of NO and has been shown to reflect changes in eNOS activity. We hypothesized that plasma NO2- response to physical exercise stress along with physiological endothelial function would be reduced with increasing severity of vascular disease. Subject groups were: (a) risk factors but no vascular disease (1117); (b) Type 2 diabetes with no vascular disease (DM); (c) diagnosed peripheral arterial disease (PAD); and (d) DM + PAD. Venous blood was drawn at rest and 10 min following maximal exercise. Plasma Samples were analyzed by reductive chemiluminescence. Brachial diameters were imaged prior to, during and following 5 min of forearm occlusion (BAFMD). There were no differences in resting plasma NO2- or BA diameters between groups. The PAD groups had lower age adjusted BAFMD responses (p
