(a) Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg; 𝑛=4–7) and diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg; 𝑛=4–7), and (b) heart rate evolution (beats/min; 𝑛=4–7; *𝑃<0.05 CONT versus FRUCT; **𝑃<0.01 CONT versus FRUCT), during the dietary intervention. Results were expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. CONT: control; FRUCT: 10% fructose in tap water; FRUCTMIN: 10% fructose in natural mineral-rich water.
