Abstract
Hispanic males are at risk for cardiovascular disease and consume high levels of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB); yet, their acute vascular response to SSBs is unknown. Ten healthy Hispanic men (18–45 years old) consumed a SSB and reactive hyperemia was performed prior to, immediately following, and 1-hr post-consumption. Both peak and total (area under the curve) forearm blood flow were attenuated immediately following consumption but returned to at or above pre-consumption levels at the 1-hr test. • Hispanic males consume high rates of sugar-sweetened beverages, yet the acute vascular response to consumption is unknown. • Reactive hyperemia is a test of microvascular function that can be used to predict cardiovascular disease risk. • We show consumption of a sugar-sweetened beverage acutely impairs reactive hyperemia in Hispanic males.
