NCT01070940

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of different levels of nitric oxide inhibition on blood pressure and arterial stiffness in healthy subjects. L-NMMA, an inhibitor of the nitric oxide synthase, is administered as bolus injection followed by continuous infusion, and is expected to raise blood pressure and arterial stiffness according to L-NMMA dose.
