简要总结

The purpose of the study is to test the effects of blocking sympathetic nerve activity with a drug called clonidine on blood vessel function and muscle nerve activity in adults who are obese and have high blood pressure.

The cohort of subjects will consist of 69 healthy young men and women age 18-79 years who are obese, defined as a body mass index > or = to 30 kg/m2, who have untreated systolic hypertension (systolic blood pressure > or = to 130 - <180 mmHg- average of at least 3 measurements 2 min apart after 10 min seated resting position). These 69 subjects will then be randomized to 3 treatment arms: clonidine (0.1 mg/day), hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg/day) or placebo for 4 weeks in years 1 and 2. All tablets will be encapsulated by to look identical. Subjects will randomly (1:1:1) receive one of the following combinations in a double-blind, placebo-controlled design:

  1. Oral clonidine (0.1 mg twice/day)
  2. Oral hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg twice/day)
  3. Oral placebo

  • Systolic blood pressure >/= 130 mmHg and <180 mmHg
  • Age is > or = 18 and < or = 79 years of age
  • Weight stable (+/- 5 lbs) for the previous 3 months
  • Healthy, as determined by health history questionnaire, blood chemistries, 12-lead ECG
  • Blood chemistries indicative of normal renal (creatinine <2.0 mg/dl), liver (<3 times upper limit for ALT, AST), and thyroid function (TSH between 0.4 - 5.0 mU/L)
  • If currently receiving treatment with or taking any of the following supplements, be willing and able to discontinue taking them for 2 weeks prior and throughout the treatment period: Vitamin C, E or other multivitamins containing vitamin C or E; or omega-3 fatty acids.
  • No history of cardiovascular disease (e.g., heart attack, stroke, heart failure, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy), Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, or peripheral arterial disease
  • Non-smokers, defined as no history of smoking or no smoking for at least the past 1 year
  • Normal resting 12-lead ECG (no evidence of myocardial infarction, left ventricular hypertrophy, left-bundle branch block, 2nd or 3rd degree AV block, atrial fibrillation/flutter)

  • History of gastric ulcers, bleeding disorders, dyspepsia, severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or metabolic acidosis
  • History of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Abnormal resting 12-lead ECG (e.g., evidence of myocardial infarction, left ventricular hypertrophy, left-bundle branch block, 2nd or 3rd degree AV block, atrial fibrillation/flutter)
  • Serious neurologic disorders including seizures
  • History of renal failure, dialysis or kidney transplant

  • Vulnerable populations (prisoners, etc.)
  • Any condition that, in the view of the PI, places the subject at high risk of poor treatment compliance or of not completing the study.
