The effects of 100% wild blueberry ( Vaccinium angustifolium ) juice consumption on cardiometablic biomarkers: a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial in adults with increased risk for type 2 diabetes

Table 3 Effect of 100% wild blueberry juice compared with placebo beverage on blood pressure and endothelial function^a

Variable	Wild blueberry juice	Placebo beverage	P
Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg)^b	116.0 ± 2.2	120.8 ± 2.2	0.088
Diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg)^b	79.8 ± 1.4	81.6 ± 1.4	0.243
Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg), pre and stage 1 HTN^c	120.5 ± 5.8	128.0 ± 5.1	0.074
Diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg), pre and stage 1 HTN^c	84.1 ± 3.7	86.7 ± 2.9	0.336
Reactive hyperemia index (RHI)^b	2.23 ± 0.2	2.13 ± 0.2	0.562

^aAll values are lsmeans ± SE. Analysis of covariance appropriate for a two period, two treatment crossover study with baseline values prior to each period; ^b n = 19, females; ^c n = 9, females with pre and stage 1 hypertension; RHI, endothelial function
