Importance of Dietary Sodium and Chloride for Salt Sensitive Hypertension

摘要: Of all nutrients that may modify arterial pressure, hypertension is most convincingly related to dietary NaCl intake. In some experimental animals and in a significant percentage of hypertensive humans, the development dependent on high intake (Horan et al. 1985). Although it generally assumed effect blood pressure specifically sodium, 1904 Ambard Beaujard reported both urinary chloride excretion were reduced patients consuming salt restricted diet. Their focus rather than sodium was ease with which could be measured. With advent techniques for measuring interest subsequently became focused sodium. Several years ago, we initiated series studies determine if anion provided diet important sensitive hypertension.
