NCT01064739
The purpose of this study is to learn how plants can play a role in gain/loss of sodium in the urine and in the regulation of blood pressure. Dopamine is a chemical mostly present in the brain and kidneys which assists in regulation of the body's salts (sodium and potassium). Fava beans contain a lot of the chemical that increases the production of dopamine by the kidneys. The purpose of these studies is to characterize the diuretic effects of dietary catecholamine sources in healthy individuals. Specific aims are: 1. To determine the effect of dietary dopa sources on plasma and urinary catecholamines. 2. To investigate the capacity of botanical dopaminergic agents (fava beans) to induce natriuresis in a short term study. 3. To provide preliminary data on the effects of dietary dopa on heart rate and blood pressure. In these studies, we will test the null hypothesis (Ho) that urinary sodium excretion will not differ in healthy volunteers after consumption of a fixed-sodium study diet and the study diet plus fava beans.
