Effect of l-Arginine Supplementation on Blood Pressure in Adults: A Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.

ABSTRACT: A decade-old meta-analytic work indicated that l-arginine supplementation might have a blood pressure (BP)-lowering effect in different populations. However, several relevant investigations have emerged in the last 10 y, and an up-to-date systematic review and meta-analysis on this topic is currently lacking. Therefore, we aimed to examine the impact of l-arginine supplementation on BP by conducting a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials (RCTs). We searched online databases using relevant keywords up to April 2021 to identify RCTs using oral l-arginine on systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) in adults. Inclusion criteria were adult participants and an intervention duration ≥4 d. Exclusion criteria were the use of l-arginine
