Fructose consumption and metabolic hypertension in rats: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Animal studies suggest that fructose intake may contribute to elevated SBP, potentially increasing the risk of hypertension. While trends were observed across various doses and exposure durations, not all findings reached statistical significance. These observations highlight the importance of further research into the long-term effects of fructose on human blood pressure and their relevance to dietary guidelines and public health policies.
