Acute Blood Pressure-lowering Effects of Beetroot Juice in Postmenopausal Women With and Without Hypertension
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Beetroot juice and Beetroot juice placebo for Postmenopausal Women. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.
