What the rows share
From the rowsThe best-graded row, grade D, is a randomized trial of 55 people (2023) and found an improvement.
The rows run from 23 to 55 people, published from 2016 to 2023: 2 single studies.
The rows
2 improved- DGrade DArterial stiffness during a weight-loss diet · Improved
RCT · n 55 · 2023 · Adults with BMI 25 or higher on a 20% calorie-reduced diet
200 g/day · 12 weeks
Pulse wave velocity (arterial stiffness) fell compared with the diet-only group; flow-mediated dilation did not change, and vascular resistance fell in both groups.
- DGrade DBlood vessel function after a high-fat breakfast (açaí smoothie) · Improved
Crossover RCT · n 23 · 2016 · Healthy overweight men aged 30–65
Single serving with a high-fat breakfast · Acute (measured over 6 hours)
Flow-mediated dilation rose 1.4% at 2 hours versus 0.4% with a matched control smoothie (P=0.001) and stayed higher at 6 hours. Blood pressure and glucose did not change; the insulin response was higher.
