Angiotensin-(1-7) Cardiovascular Effects in Aging
NCT05301192
Recruiting
Aging is an independent risk factor for developing hypertension and cardiovascular disease; however, the mechanisms underlying age-related cardiovascular disease remain poorly understood. One hallmark of aging is an increase in sympathetic nervous system activity, which can decrease the number and/or sensitivity of β2 adrenergic receptors to reduce dilation of blood vessels and increase blood pressure. Identifying new targets to restore vascular β2 adrenergic receptor signaling may help reduce c... Read More

fMRI in Postural Tachycardia Syndrome
NCT04137757
Recruiting
Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is one of the most common forms of chronic orthostatic intolerance in the United States. This is a disabling disorder characterized by an excessive increase in heart rate upon standing that is accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue. One of the most under appreciated and bothersome symptoms of POTS is impaired cognition or "brain fog," which occurs to a level that interferes with daily activities such as work and education. Despite this high imp... Read More

Angiotensin-(1-7) and Energy Expenditure in Human Obesity
NCT03777215
Recruiting
The objective of this study is to better define the role of the hormone angiotensin-(1-7) in energy balance. We will test the overall hypothesis that angiotensin-(1-7) increases resting energy expenditure and promotes markers of heat production (thermogenesis) in white adipose tissue in human obesity.

Genomic and Proteomic Analysis of Disease Progression in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
NCT00373841
Recruiting
The purpose of the study is to identify genetic and biologic markers that may predict the loss of lung function due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The studies will compare genetic and biologic markers of samples to changes in symptoms. The ultimate goal is to predict if or when patients are likely to experience a rapid decline in lung function due to disease progression.
