Summary
Study start date: February 1, 2008
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.The current study is a sub-study of Pharmacogenomic Evaluation of Antihypertensive Responses (PEAR - NCT00246519). The primary objective of this pharmacokinetic (PK) study is to investigate the correlation of atenolol Cp with hypertriglyceridemia and insulin sensitivity in mild to moderate hypertensive patients after 6-8 weeks of atenolol treatment. Participants will undergo the PK study when they have been on atenolol 100 mg once daily for at least 4 weeks and on atenolol therapy (50 mg or 100 mg) for ≥ 7 weeks. They will undergo a two hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), 1 hour after atenolol dosing. Blood will be drawn at 12 time points for 24 hours. Atenolol Cp will be measured in all 12 blood samples and will be correlated with the glucose/insulin measured during the OGTT.
