What are we studying?
We are specifically interested in how an individual’s genetic make-up influences their ability to process sugar. We will relate your genetic make-up and ability to process sugar to how your body responds to tests that alter your blood pressure. Some of these tests include getting images of a vessel in your upper arm, a test where you place your hand in very cold water, a mental math test (subtraction), and an exercise test.
