The steady-state concept of Na+ homeostasis, based on short-term investigations of
responses to high salt intake, maintains that dietary Na+ is rapidly eliminated into urine …

Accurately collected 24-hour urine collections are presumed to be valid for estimating salt
intake in individuals. We performed 2 independent ultralong-term salt balance studies …

The classical concepts of human sodium balance include 1) a total pool of Na+ of≈ 4,200
mmol (total body sodium, TBS) distributed primarily in the extracellular fluid (ECV) and bone …

BACKGROUND. The idea that increasing salt intake increases drinking and urine volume is
widely accepted. We tested the hypothesis that an increase in salt intake of 6 g/d would …

Current teaching states that when sodium intake is increased from low to high levels, total-
body sodium (TBNa) and water increase until daily sodium excretion again equals intake …

Background: Sodium accumulation has been considered to take place in the extracellular
space, leading to water retention and weight gain. This traditional view has been questioned …

Background: The intake of sodium, chloride, and potassium is considered important to
healthy nutrition and cardiovascular disease risk. Estimating the intake of these electrolytes …

Physiological regulation of sodium and water intake and output is required for the
maintenance of homeostasis. The behavioral and neuroendocrine mechanisms that govern …
