Study of Aging Blood Vessels and a Protein Called SNRK
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This research study examines how blood vessels age over time and how a protein called SNRK may be involved in that process. Researchers want to understand vascular aging (how blood vessels become less flexible as we get older) to potentially help prevent heart and stroke problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 80 years old
- Be able to provide your complete medical history, including any smoking or drinking habits
- Not have had serious heart or blood vessel disease in the past
- Not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant (if applicable)
- Not have had surgery on your neck arteries (carotid stenting or endarterectomy) or a blocked artery in your neck
- Not have participated in another clinical trial within the last 4 weeks

This research study examines how blood vessels age and work in older people who are generally healthy. Understanding these changes may help doctors better prevent heart and stroke problems in the future.
This study looks at how blood vessel aging relates to the type of fatty buildup in your arteries that can cause heart attacks. If you've had a recent heart attack, chest pain (angina), or minor artery disease and do not have advanced heart failure, kidney failure, active cancer, or prior bypass surgery, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how childhood stress might affect blood vessels and aging in young adults. It tests if a certain protein (SIRT1) is linked to early blood vessel aging.
This trial studies whether taking an NAD supplement can support brain blood vessel health as people age. Participants will be tested for brain and health changes and may help researchers understand how to keep the brain’s blood vessels healthier over time.
This study enrolls people age 40 or older who have at least 50% narrowing in one brain or neck (carotid) artery. It collects clinical information to better understand this condition and how patients are doing over time.
This study checks how a carotid artery procedure affects thinking and memory. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with significant carotid artery narrowing seen on ultrasound, and you can safely do follow-up MRI scans.
