Clinical Trial: Effects of Different Forms of a Natural Heart Hormone on Blood Pressure and Fluid Balance in Healthy Volunteers

U.S., May 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07606183) titled 'Effects of Different Forms of a Natural Heart Hormone on Blood Pressure and Fluid Balance in Healthy Volunteers' on April 28.

Brief Summary: The human heart produces hormones that help regulate blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. One of these hormones is atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). ANP lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and increasing urinary excretion by the kidneys.

Previous research has demonstrated that ANP naturally carries a small sugar molecule attached. This sugar moiety is produced endogenously and can modify the biological activity of ANP. When this sugar is present, ANP may affect blood vessel...
