Peripheral Vasodilation in Obese Humans

“Peripheral Vasodilation in Obese Humans”
The growing population of obese adults is predicted to create a large public health burden in the next few decades. This study examines function of small blood vessels providing blood flow to skeletal muscles, to test if younger obese individuals (a?$40 years old, BMI >30) are already displaying reductions in blood vessel function. This study will test if the signals blood vessels use to increase blood flow are changing in these same subjects. Findings from this study may help create treatments to delay or prevent some of the negative effects of obesity on vascular health.

Drug - Drug Trial 1 (EDD)
Drugs that increase blood flow and test EDD are: ACh, ISO, BK, ATP. Remaining drugs used to test mechanisms of EDD: L-NMMA, ketorolac, and BaCl2. Details under study description.
Drug - Drug Trial 2 (ROV)
Tools used to increase blood flow: muscle contractions and ATP. Remaining drugs used to test mechanisms of ROV: L-NMMA, ketorolac, and BaCl2. Details under study description.
