Scientists investigate hidden chemical pathways in healthy volunteers

NCT ID NCT04464070

First seen Jun 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looks at how the body processes prostaglandins, which are natural chemicals involved in inflammation. Researchers want to see if one prostaglandin (PGD2) can be turned into another substance (11-dehydro-TxB2) through a new, unknown pathway. Ten healthy adults who are not taking any medications will provide urine and blood samples to measure these breakdown products. The goal is simply to learn more about how these chemicals work in the body, not to test a treatment.
