Component

Self-measured morning blood pressure

Self-measured morning blood pressure. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. In 39 mildly hypertensive adults divided into a test group of 22 who consumed rice with 11.2 milligrams GABA per 100 grams and a placebo group of 17 who consumed rice with 2.7 milligrams per 100 grams for 8 weeks, although the hospital blood pressure and evening blood pressure measurements of the participants showed no significant change, consumption of the GABA rice improved the morning blood pressure compared with the placebo rice after the first week and during the sixth and eighth weeks.

    experimental_model
    Randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study with home self-measured blood pressure over eight weeks
    exposure
    White rice enriched to 11.2 milligrams GABA per 100 grams against rice with 2.7 milligrams per 100 grams, 150 grams daily
    limitations
    Thirty-nine mildly hypertensive adults. Hospital and evening blood pressure did not change, so the positive result is confined to one of the three measurement settings.
    nutrient_topic
    GABA research collection; topical membership is not evidence of a direct clinical effect, and the sign of a GABA response depends on the chloride gradient of the cell it was measured in. · Gamma-aminobutyric acid
    organism
    Human
    plain_language
    Enriched rice moved the morning readings and left the clinic and evening readings alone.
