Fig. 1
Mean (± SEM) systolic blood pressure (SBP; mmHg) following drink ingestion containing (i) flavored water (control, ~ 2 kcal) or (ii) 70 g whey protein (280 kcal; ‘P280’); (iii) 14 g whey protein, 28 g carbohydrate, 12.4 g fat (280 kcal; ‘M280’); (iv) 70 g protein, 28 g carbohydrate, 12.4 g fat (504 kcal; ‘M504’) in older (n = 13) men. Drink-condition effects were determined by using repeated-measures ANOVA. Baseline blood pressure represented as BL in the figure was calculated as an average of -9, -6 and -3 min readings. SBP was lower after the M504 drink when compared to control (P = 0.019) during the second (60-120 min P = 0.035) and third (120-180 min P = 0.005) hour
