«Our findings show that more than one in four young adults who binge drink meet the criterion for pre-hypertension (i.e.,
a systolic blood pressure between 120 and 139 millimetres of mercury).
Although both study groups showed a statistically significant decrease at six months compared with baseline -LRB--14.1 mmHg for renal denervation compared to -11.7 mmHg for the sham treatment control), the difference of -2.29 mmHg in office
systolic blood pressure between the two arms was not significant.
That is, we found some evidence that small studies (i.e., those with higher standard errors, located to the right of the figure), compared with larger studies, reported larger mean differences in
systolic blood pressure between infant feeding groups.

For the study, investigators tested and followed 412 adults, including 234 women, ranging in age from 23 to 76 years and with a
systolic blood pressure of 120 - 159 mm Hg and a diastolic
blood pressure between 80 - 95 mm Hg (i.e., prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension).

systolic (F = 153, P = 0.0001) and diastolic (F = 65, P = 0.0001)
blood pressure in both groups, and MP's effects differed
between groups for heart rate (interaction effect; F = 4.6, P = 0.04) and diastolic
blood pressure (interaction effect: F = 4.0, P = 0.05), but not for
systolic blood pressure (Fig. 1B).
These results are supported by observational studies in children and adolescents that found an association
between dietary fructose intake and both diastolic and
systolic blood pressure (9, 10).
(Note: the
systolic, or top number, measures the
blood pressure during contractions, while the diastolic measures the
pressure between heartbeats).

between 90 and 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).

systolic blood pressure by

To our knowledge, only one previous cross-sectional study has examined associations
between intakes of amino acids with established vasoprotective properties and
blood pressure and showed that a higher intake of tyrosine was related to a 2.4 mm Hg lower
systolic blood pressure (14).
Other cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, which have examined associations
between blood pressure and all amino acids, reported inverse associations
between higher intakes of glutamic acid, histidine, and tyrosine and
systolic blood pressure (15 — 17).
That is, two values are taken into account, the higher one being the
blood pressure in the arteries that is recorded when the heart beats (
systolic pressure), the lower value when the heart rests
between beats (diastolic
pressure).
