NCT04332562

Brief Summary

In this research the investigators are looking for the direct relationship between Beta-hydroxybutyrate and hypertension. Since recent research showed a connection between exercise and hypertension, and diet control and hypertension. The investigators are studying the possible effect of beta-hydroxybutyrate levels on blood pressure control.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • scanning for levels of circulating βHB mmol/L in the serum of the participant

    scanning for levels of circulating βHB in mmol/L in the serum of the hypertensive arm in comparison to the control arm.

    1 week

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The correlation between the salt intake restriction and it is effect on the blood pressure in (mmHg) .

    2 weeks

  • The effect of salt intake (restriction) on the serum level of βHB mmol/L.

    2 weeks

Study Arms (3)

normotensive control group

NO INTERVENTION

Normotensive volunteer

hypertensive control group

NO INTERVENTION

Hypertensive patients with no restriction on their salt intake

hypertensive interventional group

EXPERIMENTAL

intervention is going to be salt restriction

Other: dietary restriction (salt restriction)

Interventions

salt restriction for one week after being diagnosed with hypertension

hypertensive interventional group

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 60 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • All patients ≥ 18 years
  • not diagnosed with systemic hypertension
  • All patients ≥ 18 years
  • First time diagnosed as a case of systemic hypertension

You may not qualify if:

  • Diabetes mellitus.
  • Previous heart diseases, kidney or liver diseases as these conditions may interfere with the serum levels of β-hydroxybutyrate.
