Vascular biology assumes a pivotal role in the initiation and perpetuation of hypertension
and target organ damage sequelae. Endothelial activation, oxidative stress, and vascular …

Salt sensitivity, which is an increase in blood pressure in response to high dietary salt intake,
is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality. It is associated with …

High-salt diets are a major cause of hypertension and cardiovascular (CV) disease. Many
governments are interested in using food salt reduction programs to reduce the risk for salt …

Numerous epidemiologic and clinical studies have demonstrated a clear relationship
between high salt intake and blood pressure. However, the mechanisms of a salt‐induced …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent signaling molecule involved in many physiological and
pathophysiological processes in the kidney. NO plays a complex role in glomerular …

Hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Individuals with
hypertension are at increased risk of stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. Although the …

Excess daily salt intake impairs vasodilatation and enhances vasoconstriction, resulting in
reduction of regional blood flow and elevation of blood pressure in healthy individuals and …

Background: While excess dietary sodium impairs vascular function by increasing oxidative
stress, the dietary incorporation of dairy foods improves vascular health. We demonstrated …

Initial studies found that female Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rats exhibit greater blood pressure
(BP) salt sensitivity than female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). On the basis of the …
