Study Summary

This trial looks at how exercise affects the heart & large leg arteries in healthy adults, using oral antihistamines & placebo pills.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy young adults who are either not very active or exercise recreationally. They shouldn't have a history of heart problems, high blood pressure, metabolic or kidney diseases, respiratory issues, and must not be on any heart medications. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, tobacco users, those with certain musculoskeletal issues preventing cycling exercise, and people outside the BMI range of 18.5 to 35 are also excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how moderate aerobic exercise like stationary biking affects heart function and blood vessels in the legs by measuring changes before and after exercising. It looks at whether these changes result from decreased stiffness in large arteries or increased leg blood flow. Participants will take antihistamines during one visit and placebo pills during another to see the difference.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to oral antihistamines such as drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness or digestive discomfort since participants will be taking these drugs to block post-exercise dilation of their blood vessels.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: AntihistamineExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The oral antihistamine condition will consist of fexofenadine (540mg) and famotidine (40mg). Commercially available pills (3 x 180mg fexofenadine and 2 x 20mg famotidine) will be placed within opaque capsules and administered to the participants upon arrival to the laboratory.
Group II: PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
The placebo condition will consist of dextrose in an identical number of opaque capsules as the antihistamine treatment. Total dextrose will be <5g. The capsules will be administered to the participants upon arrival to the laboratory.
