- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To investigate the effects of tolvaptan on the nitric oxide system. ;Secondary Objective: The purpose of the study is to measure the effects of tolvaptan on: (1) Renal handling of water and sodium (GFR, UV, CH2O, u-AQP2, u-ENaC?, u-cAMP, CNa, FeNa, CK, FEK), (2) vasoactive hormones (PRC, p-AngII, p-Aldo , p-AVP, p-ANP, p-BNP and p-endothelial-I) and (3) Central hemodynamics (cBT, PWV and AI), basal and under basal conditions and during inhibition of the nitric oxide synthesis in healthy subjects in a dose-response study.<br>;Primary end point(s): CH2O ( free water clearance) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of study.
