Figure 3
Effects of beetroot juice treatment on total vascular resistance. Bars represent means ± standard errors for total vascular (peripheral) resistance computed as the ratio mean arterial blood pressure/cardiac output, expressed in dyne·s·cm−5. The subjects were 12 healthy, normotensive young adult African-American females. Left panel: placebo control orange juice treatment. Right panel: beetroot juice treatment. *Difference between control and beetroot juice treatments statistically significant at .
