Vitamin B6 on Exercise Pressor Reflex on Leg Ischemia-reperfusion

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, we are trying to see if vitamin B6 can minimize the amplified blood pressure response to exercise following ischemia-reperfusion injury. We are interested in a protein called P2X3, of which function can be blocked by vitamin B6, in the neurons of our nervous system. It is very important for blood pressure regulation. We would like to see if the P2X3 plays a role in patients' rising blood pressure during exercise. The results of the proposed studies will provide a base for those two potential economic and non-invasive inventions to improve the overall health and well-being of PAD patients.

Clinical Trial Description

The Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is caused by a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production during reperfusion, which leads to cell damage and inflammation and further exacerbates the underlying ischemic condition. PAD patients endure this pathological condition during various situations of this disease. In a hindlimb IR model, the blood flow in the lower extremity of the plantar muscle and gastrocnemius muscle reduced at 6 h after the femoral artery ligation and gradually restores at 18, 66 and 114 h after the blood flow reperfusion in the femoral artery. Meanwhile, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) responses to static muscle contraction increased in the above blood reperfusion time courses. Examining the underlying mechanisms leading to the exaggerated EPR in the IR injury of PAD will be essential to provide a fundamental base for developing effective interventions to prevent or alleviate the PAD-associated symptoms and complications. The P2X3 receptor in DRG is a potential candidate for regulating this exaggerated EPR in IR. Vitamin B6 can function as a blockade for the P2 receptors. Therefore, we hypothesize it will attenuate the exaggerated exercise pressor reflex (EPR) in the experimental lower limb IR procedure on healthy human participants. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
