Neural Control of Kidney Blood Flow During Exercise in African American Adults
This study is looking at how kidney blood flow changes during exercise and stress in healthy young African American adults compared to White adults. Researchers want to see if African American adults have a larger decrease in kidney blood flow during activities like cycling exercise, a cold hand test (cold pressor test), and a mental math test (mental stress test). Understanding these differences could help explain why heart and kidney problems are more common in African American adults. The study aims to enroll 32 participants and is currently unclear about its recruitment status. You can join if you are a healthy African American or White adult between 18 and 35 years old, born in the U.S., with both parents of the same racial identity, recreationally active, and fluent in English.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 32 participants. It compares kidney blood flow responses between African American and White adults during different activities.
- What's involved
- You would visit the research lab twice to perform a fitness test, cycling exercise while lying down, a cold hand test, and a mental math test.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Not specified.

What this trial measures
- Change in renal vascular resistance during acute exercisePre-acute exercise and during steady-state exercise
For the acute exercise intervention, the percent change from pre-acute exercise to during steady-state exercise will be assessed.
- Change in renal vascular resistance during cold pressor testPre-cold pressor test to after 30, 60, 90, and 120 seconds of cold pressor test
For the cold pressor test intervention, the percent change from pre-cold pressor test to 30-second intervals during the cold pressor test will be assessed.
- Change in renal vascular resistance during mental stress testPre-mental stress test to after 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 minutes of mental stress test
For the mental stress test intervention, the percent change from pre-mental stress test to 1-minute intervals during the mental stress test will be assessed.
