AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Brachial blood pressure
Timeframe: Mean of 5 readings taken pre-supplementation (0 hours) and post-supplementation (2.5 hours). 1 reading was taken pre- cold pressor test (3.5 hours). All measures were recorded on every experimental trial (4 trials with at least 48 h washout between).
Flow mediated dilation
Timeframe: Measured pre-supplementation (at 0 hours) and post-supplementation (at 2.5 hours) for every experimental trial (4 trials with at least 48 h washout between).
Central blood pressure and pulse wave variables
Timeframe: Collected pre-supplementation (0 hours), post-supplementation (2.5 hours), and during the cold pressor test (3.5 h) for 4 experimental trials (4 trials with at least 48 hours washout in between).
