About This Hypertension Study in Kansas City

The main purpose of research is to examine and understanding the development of hypertension in obese adults with insulin resistance. Findings from our studies will identify unique mechanisms that can be targeted to limit increases in vascular dysfunction and reduce the excessively high prevalence of hypertension and risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study is testing the health of the blood vessels and the activity of the nerves that control the blood vessels in adults with insulin resistance. The extent to which ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) improves the function of the blood vessels will be determined. The primary outcome is blood pressure, which is the result of blood vessel health and activity of the nerves, and the reduction in blood pressure that is observed with ascorbic acid.
