All trials for Hypertension All trials of Calcium All trials of Potassium
In humans living of fruit and vegetables, hypertension is rarely seen. We wish to study if the development of hypertension has a connection to our intake of potassium. We know that fruit and vegetables contain a lot of potassium and we will simulate this intake by giving healthy subjects potassium as tablets.
