The purpose of this study has been to determine the effect of acute consumption of noni and chokeberry juices vs. energy drinks on blood pressure, heart rate, and blood glucose. The subjects divided into 4 groups, which consumed three portions of noni or chokeberry juices (30 mL or 200 mL, respectively) and energy drink (ED) or water (200 mL) at one-hour intervals. All participants had their blood pressure (BP), both systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP), as well as heart rate (HR) and blood glucose (BG), measured. Consumption of noni juice caused a significant decrease in SBP and DBP of 5.0% and 7.5%, respectively, while, the consumption of chokeberry juice slightly decreased only DBP by 3.6%. On the contrary, consumption of three portions of EDs caused a significant increase in DBP by 14.7%. The BG of participants consuming noni juice decreased by 7.3%, while the consumption of EDs increased BG by as much as 15.8%. Acute consumption of noni juice contributed to a significantly decreased SBP, DBP, and HR as well as a mild reduction of BG. Consumption of chokeberry juice caused only a slight reduction of DBP. Contrary to juices, EDs consumption resulted in an increase of blood pressure (especially DBP) and blood glucose. The results of the study showed that noni juice may be effective in lowering blood pressure and blood sugar levels, but there is a need to continue research on the long-term effect of this juice.

Abstract Objectives Energy drinks have been anecdotally associated with deleterious cardiovascular health outcomes. These drinks contain ingredients which could affect glycemic response to the carbohydrate content. The aim of this study was to determine if acute exercise would alter the glycemic and physiological response to the consumption of Monster Energy. Methods Following an overnight fast, human subjects (19.1 ± 1.4 years; 30 female; 5 male) were randomized to exercise on a stationary bike at 33% of their predicted VO2 max for 10 minutes with a five minute sitting rest after, or sitting (control) for 15 minutes prior to ingestion of Monster Energy. Blood glucose, heart rate, and blood pressure were measured 0-, 30-, 60-, and 90-minutes postprandially. Data is represented as LSM ± SE with significance analyzed using a t-test, or multiple comparison test (P < 0.05). Results Blood glucose (mg/dL) for control at 0-, 30-, 60-, and 90-minutes 91.5 ± 1.2, 133.7 ± 4.3, 96.3 ± 4.2, and 82.4 ± 1.8 mg/dL, respectively. For those receiving bike exercise prior to ingestion blood glucose was 92.2 ± 1.2, 126.6 ± 3.8, 92.5 ± 2.3, 84.0 ± 1.8 mg/dL. Within group significance in both groups was observed between 0 and 30, 30 and 60, and 60 and 90, for control only, there were no significant blood glucose differences observed between groups across time. Heart rate for control at 0-, 30-, 60-, and 90-minutes was 78.0 ± 3.1, 78.2 ± 2.5, 78.6 ± 2.6, and 74.4 ± 1.9 respectively. For those receiving bike exercise prior to ingestion heart rate was 88.7 ± 3.71, 85.5 ± 2.7, 83.1 ± 2.3, and 80.3 ± 2.9, with significance between 0 and 90 minutes. Mean arterial blood pressure for control at 0-, 30-, 60-, and 90-minutes was 86.8 ± 2.6, 89.2 ± 2.1, 89.2 ± 2.5, and 87.6 ± 2.6. For those receiving bike exercise prior to ingestion blood pressure was 90.6 ± 3.1, 88.98 ± 2.3, 88.2 ± 2.0, and 87.0 ± 2.9 with no significant differences. Conclusions Exercise probably does not alter the glycemic and physiological response to energy drinks. Funding Sources WSU Biology Department.
