N2 - Blood glucose levels acutely increase postprandially depending on the type of meal consumed. However, it remains unclear whether postprandial hyperglycemia temporally affects cardiovascular responses to static handgrip exercise (SHG-ex). Thus, this study aimed to examine whether increased blood glucose induced by consumption of a high-glycemic index (HGI) meal affects pressor response to SHG-ex. A total of 14 healthy participants (7 women and 7 men) consumed an HGI meal, a low-glycemic index (LGI) meal, or no meal (control). Participants performed 30% maximal voluntary contraction SHG-ex followed by a postexercise muscle ischemia (PEMI) test before the meal and 60 min after consuming the meal. Blood glucose, plasma insulin, and plasma triglyceride levels were measured, and the area under the curve until 60 min (AUC0-60 min) after meal consumption was calculated. The HGI and LGI groups showed higher blood glucose and insulin AUC0-60 min than the control group (P < 0.001). At 60 min after the meal, the changes in blood pressure during SHG-ex were significantly greater in the HGI group, but not in the LGI group, than in the control group. The changes in blood pressure at the onset and end of SHG-ex 60 min after the meal were positively correlated with blood glucose AUC0-60 min (r = 0.321, P = 0.038; r = 0.402, P = 0.008, respectively) and plasma insulin AUC0-60 min (r = 0.339, P = 0.028; r = 0.302, P = 0.052, respectively). However, no association was observed during PEMI. These data suggest that postprandial hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia acutely exaggerate pressor response during SHG-ex in healthy young adults.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Postprandial hyperglycemia following consumption of a high-glycemic index (HGI) meal potentiated blood pressure response to static handgrip exercise (SHG-ex) in healthy young adults. These findings provide important insight into the role of the diet on acute circulatory response to exercise in healthy adults.
