At baseline we will measure flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and peripheral augmentation index, as well as aortic stiffness, as measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV). Volunteers will then receive \\~8 mmols of dietary nitrate or nitrate free placebo juice once daily for 6 days. After this, depending on availability, volunteers will receive a typhoid vaccine Typherix®, GlaxoSmithKline UK or Typhim Vi ™, AAH Pharmaceuticals Ltd). This vaccine generates a mild systemic inflammation that is associated with vascular dysfunction. All vascular function measures will be repeated at 8 hours and 32 hours after vaccine administration.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'MALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '45 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
