Clinical Trial Summary

To determine whether treatment with the ENaC inhibitor, amiloride, improves endothelial function and arterial stiffness in obese insulin resistant subjects in a randomized placebo-controlled trial examining pre and postmenopausal women and age-matched men.


Clinical Trial Description

Overweight/obese males, pre- and post-menopausal females with insulin resistance, 30-70 years of age will be recruited. Following screening, eligible men and women will be randomly assigned to either amiloride (max dose 5mg) or placebo in a double-blinded design manner. After randomization, subjects will be scheduled for an outpatient visit to the undergo baseline assessment of arterial stiffness (carotid femoral pulse wave velocity - cfPWV) and endothelial function (brachial popliteal artery flow mediated dilation). Subject assessment will be repeated at 12 weeks and at 24 weeks. ;
