Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Reduction in Heart Rate

    Reduction in heart rate based upon genotype while exercising. Participants exercised on a recumbent bike for 2 minutes at 25W, 2 minutes at 50W, and 2 minutes at 75W twice, once before taking atenolol, and once 2.5 hours after oral administration of 25 mg of atenolol. Data points represent unadjusted mean reduction in heart rate in the 3 genotype groups.

    2 exercise periods of 6 minutes each. 6 minutes of exercise before taking atenolol, and 6 minutes of exercise starting 2.5 hours after taking 25 mg of atenolol (2.5 hours + 6 minutes)

Study Arms (1)

Atenolol

EXPERIMENTAL

There is only 1 arm to this study. Intervention: All participants received atenolol. Genotyping for GRK5 was performed to identify if participants were GLN/GLN, GLN/LEU, or LEU/LEU. Heart rates were measured at rest, and as participants performed graded incremental exercise on a supine bicycle ergometer (at 25, 50, and 75 W for 2 minutes each) twice, once before and once 2.5 hours after taking 25 mg of atenolol.

Drug: Atenolol (β-blocker)

Interventions

25 mg tablet

Also known as: generic atenolol is being used, so not applicable
Atenolol

You may qualify if:

  • Subject must be willing to give written informed consent and be able to adhere to diet and study schedules.
  • Subjects must be free of any clinically significant disease that requires a physician's care and/or would interfere with the study evaluations.
  • Subjects must have a clinically acceptable physical examination and ECG.
  • Laboratory tests (CBC, blood chemistries, and urinalysis) must be within clinically acceptable limits.

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects who are presently, or were formerly, narcotic addicts or alcoholics.
  • Active smokers.
  • Subjects who have a clinically significant allergy/intolerance to atenolol.
  • Females with a positive serum/urine pregnancy test at screening.
  • Females who are nursing.
  • Subjects with complete heart block/ any other significant cardiovascular disease.
  • Subjects with a history of asthma symptoms or medication for it within last 10 years.
  • Subjects who have a systolic blood pressure \< 90 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure \< 50 mm Hg or heart rate \< 50/min at the screening visit or on the baseline pre drug values on the study day.

Limitations and Caveats

We cannot extrapolate our results to subjects substantially different from our study group, such as elderly subjects, cardiac patients, or patients on on chronic beta-blocker therapy, or disease states such as heart failure.
