Insulin Resistance and Blood Pressure Regulation in Blacks Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for qualified health advice, trips or treatment by using a genuine doctor. We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD on Insulin Resistance and Blood Pressure Regulation in Blacks conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Insulin Resistance and Blood Pressure Regulation in Blacks Clinical research trials and Insulin Resistance and Blood Pressure Regulation in Blacks health trials take place in a lot of of cities across the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the potency of new drugs. The aim of the studies / projects is to answer specific human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for physicians, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all kinds of circumstances, like Insulin Resistance and Blood Pressure Regulation in Blacks. Insulin Resistance and Blood Pressure Regulation in Blacks Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the general public. Many times the test subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Insulin Resistance and Blood Pressure Regulation in Blacks clinical trial. Subjects oftentimes recieve the most effective healthcare possible for their Insulin Resistance and Blood Pressure Regulation in Blacks condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and could include additional or frequent doctor visits, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with exacting guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Insulin Resistance and Blood Pressure Regulation in Blacks



Insulin Resistance and Blood Pressure Regulation in Blacks

For Condition: Heart Diseases,Insulin Resistance,Cardiovascular Diseases,Hypertension
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ,
Synopsis: To determine the role of insulin resistance in peripheral vascular dynamics, sodium sensitivity, and blood pressure regulation in a young representative Black population and in a group of young Blacks at high risk for hypertension.
Details: BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated a greater prevalence of essential hypertension in Blacks with a disproportionately greater hypertension related mortality in Blacks. Similar vascular consequences occur with diabetes and obesity. These three diseases not only share a common outcome, but also overlap in occurrence with Blacks having greater prevalence rates in the three disorders. Insulin resistance has been documented in all three disorders and may contribute significantly to the vascular disease. This project originated in response to a Request for Applications on Biobehavioral Factors Affecting Hypertension in Blacks issued in December 1982. The original project was supported by the RFA for three years. The first three years of the study focussed on the hypothesis that sodium loading would augment cardiovascular responses of psychogenic stress in Blacks at high risk for hypertension. The first phase of the study examined and compared 80 Blacks and whites, 18-22 years of age. The second phase involved an additional 40 Black borderline hypertensives who were exposed to the same set of studies designed to examine possible interactions between neurogenic and renal controlled volume mechanisms in essential hypertension. The project was renewed as a regular research grant in 1986 and was designed to investigated biobehavioral factors in blood pressure control. In 1988, the study on insulin resistance was funded and continued through 1990. DESIGN NARRATIVE: Subjects in this project consisted of Blacks who were enrolled in the Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP) at birth and who had been studied longitudinally in adolescence and young adulthood. Each subject brought to the study data on blood pressure, growth, and maturation from birth through late adolescence. Peripheral vascular structure was studied using measures of forearm blood flow and forearm vascular resistance. Measurements of peripheral vascular structure were compared to data on sodium sensitivity and potassium sensitivity in the population. Insulin resistance was studied using the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp technique. Variations in the activity of the sodium-potassium pump and sodium-hydrogen exchange in red cells were correlated with insulin resistance to determine if hyperinsulinemia alters cation transport rates.
