Key result
A lacto-ovovegetarian diet lowered ambulatory blood pressure at work compared to an omnivorous control diet in normotensive men, associated with reduced sympatho-adrenal activity.

Does a lacto-ovovegetarian diet reduce ambulatory blood pressure in normotensive men?
A lacto-ovovegetarian diet lowers ambulatory blood pressure in normotensive men, potentially mediated by reduced sympatho-adrenal activity and altered glucose/insulin handling.
Sciarrone et al. (1993) conducted an RCT in Normotension (n=20). Lacto-ovovegetarian diet vs. Omnivorous diet was evaluated on Ambulatory blood pressure and neurohormonal responses. A lacto-ovovegetarian diet lowered ambulatory blood pressure at work compared to an omnivorous control diet in normotensive men, associated with reduced sympatho-adrenal activity.
