Detailed Description
The investigators aimed the additive effects of combined grape seed extract (GSE) and L-citrulline supplementation on hemodynamic responses to dynamic exercise, 11 young, healthy males were recruited for this study. Effects of 7 days of combined GSE with L-citrulline supplementation on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO), total vascular conductance (TVC), and oxygen consumption (O2) were examined at rest and during cycling exercise.
