NCT ID NCT01426529
First seen Jan 02, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looks at how a specific gene (Caveolin-1) and salt intake affect blood vessel function in people with high blood pressure. About 120 adults with mild to moderate hypertension will follow low- and high-salt diets while researchers measure heart and blood vessel responses. The goal is to better understand why some people are salt-sensitive, not to test a new treatment.
