Study for weight-related hormone signals in people with high blood pressure
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This early-phase study looks at how the body’s “fight-or-flight” signals may be involved in weight gain (obesity) and high blood pressure. It may help researchers understand the biology and guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 65 years old
- You have high blood pressure (at least two readings over 130/85, or you take BP medicine)
- You have obesity, meaning your BMI is 30 or higher
- You can safely participate and sign the informed consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
This Phase 1 study tests how a medication that affects the body’s angiotensin system (angiotensin-(1-7)) changes metabolism in adults with obesity, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure. It may help researchers understand whether this approach can improve blood sugar/insulin function and related body changes.
This Phase 1 study looks at a treatment aimed at reducing “inflammation patterns” that are common in obesity and insulin resistance. If you meet specific health and lab criteria, you may be asked to visit a research lab and provide blood samples to see how the treatment affects your body.
This study looks at how signals from the nervous system may affect the body in people with obesity. You may be eligible if you meet specific measurements for waist size and do not have certain medical conditions or recent smoking history.
This early-stage study tests a new way to help control high blood pressure that is linked to obesity. It may help people whose blood pressure is high based on a 24-hour blood pressure monitor.
This trial tests a new blood-based test that may help identify if your high blood pressure is caused by a hormone problem (endocrine hypertension). If you have difficult-to-treat high blood pressure or other signs of a hormone issue, this study could help find the root cause.
This study tests whether a natural protein called angiotensin-(1-7) can improve heart health in people with obesity and high blood pressure. It may help researchers find new ways to treat these conditions together.
