Clinical trials: Blood Pressure Regulation
Ocular Physiology, Optic Disk
Role of Endothelin- and Nitric Oxide-system in the Regulation of Optic Nerve Head Blood Flow During Changes in Ocular Perfusion Pressure
Autoregulation is the ability of a vascular bed to maintain blood flow despite changes in perfusion pressure. The existence of an effective autoregulation in the optic nerve circulation has been shown in animals and humans.

Hypertension
Effect of Exercise and Diet on Inflammation in Hypertensive Individuals
In addition to high blood pressure, hypertension is characterized by inflammation, which is the body's response to injury or infection. Inflammation has been found to cause plaque formation on artery walls.
- Trial name
- NCT00338572
- Testing
- Exercise Program, Combined Exercise and Diet Program
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 185 people
- Sponsor
- University of California, San Diego
