PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

Population: Twelve consented participants were screened. Eight were ineligible. One withdrew consent. Only two participants completed the study with blood sampling. One participant was unable to be randomized as PAH was unavailable. For the two participants who completed the study measurements were not made on the samples due to early study termination. The study was terminated due to inability to obtain PAH to perform renal specific RAAS assessments.

systemic RAAS will be assessed by plasma renin activity (PRA), angiotensin II (Ang II) levels and urine aldosterone

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

Population: Twelve consented participants were screened. Eight were ineligible. One withdrew consent. Only two participants completed the study with blood sampling. One participant was unable to be randomized as PAH was unavailable. For the two participants who completed the study, analysis of measures were not conducted due to early study termination. The study was terminated due to inability to obtain PAH to perform renal specific RAAS assessments.

Glucose metabolism will be evaluated by applying the Oral Minimal Model method to the results of a 2 hour 7- measurement, mixed meal tolerance test. From the glucose, insulin and c-peptide measurements calculation of insulin sensitivity (reciprocal of insulin resistance) and β-cell responsivity will be calculated.

Central blood pressure will be measured by pulse wave analysis using the SphygmoCor system (AtCor Medical, West Ryde, NSW, Australia), which measures central blood pressure and arterial stiffness.
