Official title
Acute Blood Pressure-lowering Effects of Beetroot Juice in Postmenopausal Women With and Without Hypertension
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In this study the investigators will test the hypothesis that acute consumption of inorganic nitrate (supplied in concentrated beetroot juice) reduces artery stiffness and resting blood pressure, and lessens the rise in blood pressure during handgrip exercise in postmenopausal women. Understanding and improving artery function and blood pressure regulation in women is important because they undergo accelerated arterial stiffening after menopause and have much larger increases in blood pressure when they exercise compared with either premenopausal women or men of similar age.
