Summary
The purpose of this study is to figure out how decreasing the activity of 11-beta
hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11-beta HSD) will affect your blood vessel function. 11-beta
HSD, which is found in the kidneys and blood vessels, is a natural protein that when active
helps to keep your blood pressure under control.
