Metabolic syndrome is manifested by visceral obesity, hypertension, glucose intolerance,
hyperinsulinism, and dyslipidemia. According to the CDC, metabolic syndrome in the US …

Excess salt (sodium chloride) intake is a risk factor for hypertension and is attributed to
increasing rates of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Salt sensitivity is …

Objective The factors that influence seizure timing are poorly understood, and seizure
unpredictability remains a major cause of disability. Work in chronobiology has shown that …

High salt intake is a primary cause of over-hydration in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
patients. Inflammatory markers are predictors of CKD mortality; however, the pathogenesis …

Although we have sent humans into space for more than 50 years crucial questions
regarding kidney physiology, volume regulation and osmoregulation remain unanswered …

Spot urine samples with estimating equations have been used to assess individuals' sodium
(salt) intake in association with health outcomes. There is large random and systematic error …

Sodium chloride, as salt, gives rise to hypertension. Nevertheless, individual susceptibility to
the ramifications of sodium chloride is heterogeneous. The conventional nephron-centric …

Aims High salt intake is common and contributes to poor cardiovascular health. Urinary
sodium excretion correlates directly with glucocorticoid excretion in humans and …

Sodium and volume excess is the fundamental risk factor underlying hypertension in chronic
kidney disease (CKD) patients, who represent the prototypical population characterized by …

Background Sodium-23 magnetic resonance imaging (23Na MRI) allows non-invasive
assessment of tissue sodium concentration ([Na+]). Age and chronic kidney disease (CKD) …
