Clinical Trial: C-Reactive Protein and Endothelial Dysfunction in Women With Glucose Intolerance

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: C-Reactive Protein and Endothelial Dysfunction in Women With Glucose Intolerance

Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to determine whether markers of vascular inflammation (such as c-reactive protein) can predict endothelial dysfunction (as measured by flow-mediated dilation) in postmenopausal women with glucose intolerance compared to normal controls.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Yale University

Current Primary Outcome: c-reactive protein [ Time Frame: performed after screening evaluation ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • flow-mediated dilation of brachial artery [ Time Frame: performed twice after screening visit ]
  • sex steroids [ Time Frame: performed after screening visit ]


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
