Kidney's Response to Exercise in Heat and Vitamin B3
This study is looking at how your kidneys respond to exercise in hot conditions and if Vitamin B3 (1000mg once a day for two days) can change that response. Researchers want to understand how chemicals in your body change under different levels of heat stress and if Vitamin B3 plays a role. You might be able to join if you are a healthy volunteer between 18 and 45 years old, a non-smoker, and physically fit. You also need to have healthy kidney function, as shown by specific blood and urine tests. The study will measure certain kidney markers (Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, Urinary TIMP2, and IGFBP7) before and right after heat exposure to see the impact. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 28 healthy volunteers. It involves comparing chemical changes in participants under different heat stress levels and when taking either Vitamin B3 or a placebo.
- What's involved
- You would participate in two stages, potentially involving up to five exercise sessions on a rowing machine in a hot and humid room, each session separated by about a week.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Kidney markers are measured immediately after heat stress exposure, but no further follow-up is specified.
