Supervised beego improves cardiovascular physiology. (a to d) Violin plots of vascular health measured with Mobil-O-Graph PWA monitor. Measurements include peripheral resistance (male=10, female=18), reflection coefficient (male=10, female=18), augmentation index (AIx, male=10, female=18) and pulse wave velocity (PWV, male=10, female=18). (e to f) Violin plots of cardiac health measured with Mobil-O-Graph PWA. Measurements include cardiac output (male=10, female=18) and cardiac index (male=10, female=18). (g) Blood pressure measurement in hypertension or normal blood pressure groups. Left panel, hypertensive subject not on medication before or during fasting or refeeding (female=1); middle panel, hypertensive subjects on antihypertension medication before fasting but not taking the medication during fasting or refeeding (male=1, female=2); right panel, normal blood pressure subjects not on medication (male=10, female=18). Data are means±SEM. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001. *significant compared with the wFD1 (7:00 am) immediately before the start of fasting. AHD, anti-hypertension drug; dbp, diastolic blood pressure; sbp, systolic blood pressure; wFD, water-only fasting day.
