Abstract: In this work we showed that nitric oxide produced via red wine- and ascorbate-dependent reduction of nitrite diffuses through the rat stomach, inducing smooth muscle relaxation. The studies encompassed ex vivo and in vivo models of diffusion. Regarding the former, luminal *NO generated from a mixture of physiologic nitrite and ascorbate or wine diffuses across the stomach wall, being 8-20% of that produced in the mucosal side detected at high microM range (>100 microM) in the serosal side. In order to evaluate whether cellular dysfunction was associated with *NO diffusion at the microM range, the gastric tissue exposed to *NO was evaluated in terms of carbachol-induced muscle contraction in fundal strips and mitochondrial respiration and showed to remain functional and metabolically active. Moreover, pre-contracted gastric strips were shown to relax 86.5+/-5.5% (control) and 75.0+/-4.0% (nitrite/ascorbate-exposed tissue) when challenged with acidified nitrite. The studies in the living animal support the diffusion of luminal *NO to the gastric vasculature as, following addition of nitrite/ascorbate to rat stomach in vivo, *NO was not detected in the serosal environment but concentrations as high as 31 microM of *NO were detected outside the stomach after cardiac arrest. Collectively, the results establish a link between the consumption of nitrite and dietary reductants (e.g., wine polyphenols) and stomach muscle relaxation via the local chemical generation of *NO. โข Keywords: nitric oxide, nitrite, stomach, diffusion, polyphenols, relaxation
