Clinical trials: Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure
Analyzing Genetic Factors Involved in Blood Pressure Changes Due to Salt and Potassium Intake (The GenSalt Study)
High blood pressure is a serious health problem. In terms of diet recommendations, people with this condition are encouraged to eat a low sodium and high potassium diet.

Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure
Central Sodium Sensing: Implications for Blood Pressure Regulation
The ability of the brain to sense changing sodium levels in the blood is critical in mediating the neurohumoral responses to hypernatremia, however, the mechanisms underlying sodium sensing in humans is poorly understood.

- Testing
- Hypertonic Saline with furosemide, Hypertonic Saline without furosemide
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 29 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Salt-sensitivity of Blood Pressure
Gut Microbiome, Metabolome, and SSBP
The goal of this interventional study is to learn if elevated Na+ alters the gut microbiota and is associated with altered metabolism, inflammation and salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP).

- United States
- Volunteers
- 50 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Healthy
Comparative Evaluation of the Effect on Blood Pressure of an Equivalent Content of Sodium in the Form of Bicarbonate of Sodium and in the Form of Sodium Chloride, on "Sensitive Sodium" Subjects
Many large-scale epidemiological studies have established a link between the average consumption of table salt (sodium chloride) and blood pressure.

Effect of an Isolevuglandin Scavenger on Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure and Immune Cell Activation in Humans
Hypertension is the leading cause of preventable deaths globally, driven by complications such as myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease.

Blood Pressure
Acute Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure
Dietary salt raises blood pressure in certain individuals immediately after ingestion (acute salt sensitivity; ASS) while not affecting others. It is hypothesized that ASS is a risk factor for hypertension.
- Trial name
- AcuteSS (NCT04844255)
- Testing
- dietary salt

Genetics in Hypertension
Beta-2 Adrenergic Receptor Polymorphic Variants: An Endotype of Salt Sensitive Hypertension (Beta2AR).
All living things are made of building blocks called cells. Genes are the part of cells that contain the instructions which determine important things about you, like your height or hair color, and affect your health.

Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure, Hypertension
CARDIA-Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure (SSBP)
Salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP) is defined as the change in blood pressure (BP) in relation to change in salt intake. An increase in BP from low- to high-salt diet is common and associated with an increased risk of…

Skin Sodium and Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure
Eating too much salt raises blood pressure and the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. The investigators do not fully understand why salt raises blood pressure, but storage of sodium in the body, particularly in the skin…
