Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Reduction of 5 mmHg SBP

Time Frame: At week 12

I. Reduction of 5 mmHg from Baseline in office SBP. II. Reduction of 5 mmHg from Baseline in 24-hour ambulatory SBP.

Reduction of 10 mmHg SBP

Time Frame: At week 12

I. Reduction of 10 mmHg from Baseline in office SBP. II. Reduction of 10 mmHg from Baseline in 24-hour ambulatory SBP.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Biomarkers of blood vessel damage(Baseline (Day 1/Visit 3) and Week 12 (Visit 6))
  • Follow-up and safety analyses -Adverse events (AEs)(The 2-week follow-up period once completing the 12-week dietary)
  • Office SBP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP)(Baseline (Day 1/Visit 3), Week 4 (Visit 4), Week 8 (Visit 5), and Week 12 (Visit 6))
  • 24-hour ambulatory(Baseline (Day 1/Visit 3) and Week 12 (Visit 6))
  • Biomarkers of blood vessel inflammation(Baseline (Day 1/Visit 3) and Week 12 (Visit 6))
  • Follow-up and safety analyses -Vital signs(The 2-week follow-up period once completing the 12-week dietary)
