Sodium Phenylbutyrate and blood vessel function
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a medication called sodium phenylbutyrate and its effects on blood vessels. It involves healthy people and people with diabetes to see how the drug may affect vascular function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- If you are healthy, you cannot have diabetes or prediabetes.
- People with diabetes (either type) can join, but not those with prediabetes.
- You cannot have high blood pressure, or take certain medications like vasodilators, steroids, haloperidol, or valproic acid.
- You cannot have heart failure, severe kidney or liver problems, or swelling from sodium retention.
- You must not have used tobacco in the last 6 months, and no active alcohol or drug abuse.

This study looks at whether tiny fat-based particles (“adiposomes”) can affect how well your blood vessels work, especially in people with diabetes and higher body weight. You may be asked to do moderate exercise and other study procedures after passing safety checks.
This early-phase study looks at whether a treatment can help reverse problems in blood vessels caused by high glucose (sugar) and blood fat signals. It may be a fit if you are generally healthy, have normal insulin and sugar levels, and have a stable weight.
This study tests a new medication that may help people whose blood pressure is very sensitive to salt intake. Researchers will monitor how your body responds to changes in salt consumption and measure certain immune markers.
This trial studies whether a lower-salt plan can improve how your blood vessels work. It’s meant for adults with higher blood pressure who may be at risk for heart and blood vessel problems.
This early study looks at how “autophagy” (your body’s cell recycling process) relates to small blood-vessel problems in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand mechanisms and possible future treatments, mainly for people who meet specific health and medication criteria.
This study tests if a special type of fat (butyrate) can help prevent diabetes in people who are overweight and have early signs of blood sugar problems. You would take a supplement for several weeks to see if it improves how your body handles sugar.
