Abstract Objectives So far, few researches has examined how genetic variation in salt taste receptors affects food intake in Iranian population. Thus, in this study, we aimed to investigate associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in salt taste receptors genes with dietary salt intake and blood pressure. Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out among 116 randomly selected adults aged 18 years and over in Isfahan city, Iran. Subjects with diabetes insipidus, renal insufficiency, a special dietary regimen, fasting or menstruating on the day of sampling, using diuretics and oral contraceptives or pregnant and lactating women as well as participants who had incomplete 24-h urine collection were excluded. A 24-h urine collection and blood pressure measurement were done. Whole blood was collected to extract DNA and measure SNP rs239345 in the ENaC and rs224534, rs4790151 and rs8065080 in the TRPV1 gene. Results Homozygous carriers of the T allele for rs239345 were found to consume significantly more sodium (4414.7 ± 1943.8 mg/day) compared to the AA genotype (3887.4 ± 1709.1 mg/day). Further, they also had higher diastolic blood pressure compared to subjects with the AA genotype (81.3 ± 9.7 vs. 75.3 ± 8.3 mmHg). Compared to subjects with the CC genotype, those with homozygous carriers of the T allele for rs8065080 in the TRPV1 had higher sodium intake (3592.6 ± 1645.2 mg/day vs. 4604.2 ± 2013.5 mg/day) and systolic blood pressure (118.1 ± 11.3 mmHg vs. 123.4 ± 11.5 mmHg). No differences were found in dietary sodium intake and blood pressure with the rs224534 and rs4790151 SNPs. Conclusions These findings suggest that genetic variation in the ENaC and TRPV1 genes may contribute to inter-individual differences in salt intake and blood pressure.

The close relationship between hypertension and dietary sodium intake is widely recognized and supported by several studies. A reduction in dietary sodium not only decreases the blood pressure and the incidence of hypertension, but is also associated with a reduction in morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Prolonged modest reduction in salt intake induces a relevant fall in blood pressure in both hypertensive and normotensive individuals, irrespective of sex and ethnic group, with larger falls in systolic blood pressure for larger reductions in dietary salt. The high sodium intake and the increase in blood pressure levels are related to water retention, increase in systemic peripheral resistance, alterations in the endothelial function, changes in the structure and function of large elastic arteries, modification in sympathetic activity, and in the autonomic neuronal modulation of the cardiovascular system. In this review, we have focused on the effects of sodium intake on vascular hemodynamics and their implication in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

Abstract   Excessive dietary salt intake is associated with an increased risk of hypertension. Salt sensitivity, i.e., an elevation in blood pressure in response to high dietary salt intake, has been associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. We investigated whether a causal association exists between dietary sodium intake and hypertension risk using Mendelian randomization (MR). We performed an MR study using data from a large genome-wide association study comprising 15,034 Korean adults in a community-based cohort study. A total of 1,282 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with dietary sodium intake, such as rs2960306, rs4343, and rs1937671, were selected as instrumental variables. The inverse variance weighted method was used to assess the evidence for causality. Higher dietary sodium intake was associated with salt-sensitive hypertension risk. The variants of SLC8E1 rs2241543 and ADD1 rs16843589 were strongly associated with increased blood pressure. In the logistic regression model, after adjusting for age, gender, smoking, drinking, exercise, and body mass index, the GRK4 rs2960306TT genotype was inversely associated with hypertension risk (OR = 0.356, 95% CI = 0.236–0.476). However, the 2350GG genotype (ACE rs4343) exhibited a 2.11-fold increased hypertension risk (OR = 2.114, 95% CI = 2.004–2.224) relative to carriers of the 2350AA genotype, after adjusting for confounders. MR analysis revealed that the odds ratio for hypertension per 1 mg/day increment of dietary sodium intake was 2.24 in participants with the PRKG1 rs12414562 AA genotype. Our findings suggest that dietary sodium intake may be causally associated with hypertension risk. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: Public Institution(s).

Dietary Salt Intake

Background: Healthy dietary practice is an important lifestyle modification and one of the key adjuncts to pharmacotherapy in management of hypertension. A modest reduction in salt intake of 5 gm/day lowered blood pressure by 7/4 mmHg diastolic in hypertensive patients. Despite knowledge about the ill consequences, many people continue to consume high levels of salt in their diet. To motivate people to reduce salt in their diet, a solid understanding of barriers encountered by those under salt reduction recommendation is necessary. Hence, this study was conducted with the aim of identifying the barriers to dietary salt reduction among hypertensive patients.Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted on a sample of 356 hypertensive patients in field practice areas (urban and rural) in Department of Community Medicine, JNMC, AMU, Aligarh. A pretested semi-structured questionnaire was used for the study. Compliance to dietary salt intake was assessed by calculating average salt intake per person per day. The tenets of health belief model were used to examine the key determinants of human behavior. Analysis was done by using correlation, proportions, chi-square and multiple linear regression.Results: 31.4% of the participants took salt <5 gm per day. A significant association was noticed with area, religion, social class, family size, perceived benefits and perceived susceptibility. A significant positive correlation was seen with total adherence score and family size.Conclusions: A lot of barriers hinder the compliance to dietary salt reduction. Health Education stressing the role of salt reduction in control of blood pressure is recommended.
