Before And After

Positive sodium balance is necessary for normal somatic growth of the neonate, and the neonatal renal response to volume expansion (VE) is attenuated compared with the adult. To test the hypothesis that dietary sodium modulates the developmental response to VE, preweaned rats were artificially reared with either a normal (25 meq/l)- or high-sodium (145 meq/l) diet for 7-8 days and were compared with adult rats receiving normal or high sodium. Serum sodium concentration remained normal in adults on high sodium, whereas neonates became hypernatremic. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urinary flow (V), and urinary sodium (UNaV) were measured before and after acute saline VE (1% body wt). While remaining constant in preweaned rats, GFR increased > 50% in adult rats after VE (P < 0.05). High sodium intake augmented V and UNaV after VE but was not sustained in neonates as in adults. Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate excretion (UcGMPV) were measured, and baseline UcGMPV was lower in preweaned rats receiving normal sodium but increased to levels similar to adult levels after VE. Postexpansion plasma ANP was higher in preweaned rats than in adult rats and was not affected by dietary sodium regardless of age. We conclude that the attenuated postexpansion natriuresis in the neonate is due in part to an adaptive response to limited sodium intake. However, neonatal compensation to increased sodium intake is incomplete and independent of plasma ANP.

Rodents exposed to mineralocorticoid excess have considerably decreased taste sensitivity for sodium chloride (NaCl) and show high dietary sodium intake. A similar shift in NaCl taste perception could be detrimental in humans when aldosterone excess in primary aldosteronism (PA) causes hypertension and favors high sodium consumption. To investigate NaCl taste sensitivity in patients with PA, we studied NaCl taste recognition thresholds as measures of NaCl taste sensitivity in forty patients with PA before and after treatment of aldosterone excess. Forty patients with primary hypertension and 40 healthy normotensive volunteers served as controls. In this context, the subjects compared 10 different NaCl solutions (0.5–256 mmol/L) with distilled water. We also assessed individual NaCl intake using self-reported 24-hour recalls and duplicate determinations of sodium excretion in 24-hour urine. Patients with PA showed significantly higher NaCl taste recognition thresholds (median 32 versus 24 mmol/L in primary hypertension, P =0.010, and 16 mmol/l in normotensive control, P <0.001). Following specific treatment for PA, the taste recognition threshold for NaCl significantly improved in patients with unilateral PA undergoing adrenalectomy (median 16 versus 32 mmol/L at baseline, P =0.017) and in patients on MRA (mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists; median 16 versus 32 mmol/L at baseline, P <0.001) but was unaltered in healthy volunteers (median 16 versus 16 mmol/L at baseline, P =0.438). Our data show a significantly impaired NaCl taste perception in patients with PA. Surgical as well as medical treatment of PA significantly improved NaCl taste perception in patients with PA.

1. In healthy volunteers plasma concentrations of immunoreactive substance P were measured in response to changes in posture and dietary salt intake. 2. In 14 subjects plasma immunoreactive substance P was 168 ± 31 pmol/l when subjects were supine and 401 ± 51 pmol/l (P < 0.001) when they were ambulant. 3. Measurement of supine plasma immunoreactive substance P at 6 h intervals gave a mean value of 240 ± 39 pmol/l at 14.00 hours and a lowest value of 76 ± 9 pmol/l at 02.00 hours. 4. In eight healthy subjects plasma immunoreactive substance P rose only slightly from 169 ± 41 pmol/l, on a sodium intake ad lib., to 244 ± 45 pmol/l by day 4 of dietary sodium restriction (35 mmol/day) and significantly fell to 51 ± 20 pmol/l (P < 0.001) by day 4 of high sodium intake (350 mmol/day). 5. Although exogenous substance P was shown to be natriuretic in dog and rat, the present results do not favour a role of endogenous substance P as a circulating natriuretic factor in man.

1. The effect of dietary sodium intake on pre-and post-prandial plasma sodium concentrations and on the pattern of sodium and potassium excretion was determined in conscious female dogs, who were allowed free access to water and were fed on commercial low sodium diets supplemented with 0, 50, 100 or 250 mmol of sodium chloride/day for 6 days. 2. The preprandial plasma sodium concentration was not altered by the dietary sodium intake. However, the 4 h postprandial plasma sodium concentration was linearly related to the magnitude of dietary sodium intake, whereas the 8 h postprandial plasma sodium concentration was elevated only in dogs receiving 250 mmol of sodium/day. 3. The (0–8 h/0–24 h) ratio for urinary sodium excretion was significantly correlated with both the dietary sodium intake and the postprandial increase in plasma sodium concentration. 4. The 24 h excretion of potassium was not markedly affected by the dietary sodium intake; however, the (0–8 h/0–24 h) ratio for potassium excretion was significantly correlated with both the dietary sodium intake and the (0–8 h/0–24 h) ratio for sodium excretion. 5. These data indicate that: (a) postprandial increases in plasma sodium concentration need to be considered when evaluating the mechanisms involved in the daily regulation of sodium balance; (b) the daily pattern of potassium excretion is closely linked to the dietary sodium intake.

Dietary sodium and blood pressure regulation differs between normotensive men and women, an effect which may involve endothelial production of nitric oxide (NO). Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that differences in the NO component of endothelium-dependent vasodilation between low and high dietary sodium intake depend on sex. For 5 days prior to study, healthy adults consumed a controlled low-sodium diet (10 mmol/day, n = 30, mean age ± SE: 30 ± 1 yr, 16 men) or high-sodium diet (400 mmol/day, n = 36, age 23 ± 1 yr, 13 men). Forearm blood flow (FBF, plethysmography) responses to brachial artery administration of acetylcholine (ACh, 4 μg·100 ml tissue−1·min−1) were measured before and after endothelial NO synthase inhibition with NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA, 50 mg bolus + 1 mg/min infusion). The NO component of endothelium-dependent dilation was calculated as the response to ACh before and after l-NMMA accounting for changes in baseline FBF: [(FBF ACh − FBF baseline) − (FBF AChL-NMMA − FBF baselineL-NMMA)]. This value was 5.7 ± 1.3 and 2.5 ± 0.8 ml·100 ml forearm tissue−1·min−1 for the low- and high-sodium diets, respectively (main effect of sodium, P = 0.019). The sodium effect was larger for the men, with values of 7.9 ± 2.0 and 2.2 ± 1.4 for men vs. 3.1 ± 1.3 and 2.7 ± 1.0 ml·100 ml forearm tissue−1·min−1 for the women ( P = 0.034, sex-by-sodium interaction). We conclude that the NO component of endothelium-dependent vasodilation is altered by dietary sodium intake based on sex, suggesting that endothelial NO production is sensitive to dietary sodium in healthy young men but not women.

Abstract Background Studies have shown that having away from home meals contributes to high sodium intake among young people and those who lived in urban areas. This study aimed to determine the association between dietary sodium intake, body mass index, and away from home meal consumption behaviour among Malaysian adults. Methods MyCoSS was a cross-sectional household survey involving 1440 adults age 18 years and above. This study utilized stratified cluster sampling to obtain a nationally representative sample. Data was collected between October 2017 and March 2018. Socio-demographic information, dietary assessment using food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and away from home meal consumption were assessed through a face-to-face interview by trained health personnel. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression were applied to identify the association of socioeconomic status and away from home meal consumption with dietary sodium intake. Results A total of 1032 participants completed the FFQ, with a mean age of 48.8 + 15.6 years. Based on the FFQ, slightly over half of the participants (52.1%) had high sodium intake. Results showed that 43.6% of participants consumed at least one to two away from home meals per day, while 20.8% of them had their three main meals away from home. Participants aged less than 30 years old were the strongest predictor to consume more sodium (adjusted OR: 3.83; 95%CI: 2.23, 6.58) while those of Indian ethnicity had significantly lower sodium intake. Surprisingly, having three away from home meals per day was not associated with high dietary sodium intake, although a significant association (crude OR; 1.67, 95% CI: 1.19, 2.35) was found in the simple logistic regression. Obese participants were less likely to have high dietary sodium intake compared with the normal BMI participants in the final model. Conclusion Over half of the participants consumed sodium more than the recommended daily intake, especially those who consumed three away from home meals. However, there was no significant association between high sodium intake and having three away from home meals per day. The promotion of healthy cooking methods among the public must continue to be emphasized to reduce the dietary sodium intake among Malaysian adults.

Impaired vascular function likely contributes to the association between dietary sodium intake and the development of cardiovascular disease. Using the cutaneous microvasculature as a model, we have previously shown that a high sodium (HS) diet blunts local heating-induced vasodilation in normotensive individuals with salt resistant (SR) blood pressure (BP). However, the effect of a HS diet on the cutaneous microvasculature in normotensive salt sensitive (SS) individuals remains unclear. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that cutaneous microvascular function is reduced by a HS diet to a greater degree in SS compared to SR individuals. After each 7-day controlled feeding diet (low sodium (LS) = 20 mmol/day; HS = 300 mmol/day), an intradermal microdialysis fiber was inserted in the ventral forearm and perfused with Ringer’s solution. Skin blood flow (SkBF) was continuously monitored via laser Doppler flowmetry and a local heating unit was placed over the fiber and heated to 42°C until SkBF reached a stable plateau. Site-specific maximal SkBF was determined by perfusing 28mM sodium nitroprusside and heating to 43°C. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was assessed at regular intervals on the contralateral arm and was used to calculate cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC = SkBF / MAP). Subjects wore a 24-hr ambulatory BP monitor and collected their urine on the final day of each diet. Fourteen subjects (9W / 5M, 42 ± 14 yr) whose MAP increased >5 mmHg (Δ8 ± 1 mmHg) on the HS diet were defined as SS and were compared to 14 age- (43± 14 yr) and sex-matched SR subjects (Δ1 ± 3 mmHg). SS and SR had similar MAP at baseline (88 ± 9 vs. 90 ± 8 mmHg, P = 0.88) and urinary sodium excretion was increased similarly across groups by the HS diet (Δ239 ± 104 vs. Δ220 ± 66 mmol / 24 hr, P = 0.20). Cutaneous vasodilation in response to local heating was decreased on the HS diet relative to the LS diet in both SS (Δ-9 ± 9 %CVCmax, P = 0.005) and SR (Δ-9 ± 9 %CVCmax, P=0.005); however, there was not a group x diet interaction (P = 0.99). In contrast to our hypothesis, these results suggest that the deleterious effects of high sodium diets on cutaneous microvascular function are similar in normotensive salt sensitive and salt resistant individuals.

Cross-sectional studies have reported that high sodium sensitivity is more common among individuals with hypertension. Experimental studies have also reported various animal models with sodium-resistant hypertension. It is unknown, however, whether sodium sensitivity and resistance precede the development of hypertension. We conducted a feeding study, including a 7-day low-sodium diet (1180 mg/day) followed by a 7-day high-sodium diet (7081 mg/day), among 1718 Chinese adults with blood pressure (BP) <140/90 mm Hg. We longitudinally followed them over an average of 7.4 years. Three BP measurements and 24-hour urinary sodium excretion were obtained on each of 3 days during baseline observation, low-sodium and high-sodium interventions, and 2 follow-up studies. Three trajectories of BP responses to dietary sodium intake were identified using latent trajectory analysis. Mean (SD) changes in systolic BP were −13.7 (5.5), −4.9 (3.0), and 2.4 (3.0) mm Hg during the low-sodium intervention and 11.2 (5.3), 4.4 (4.1), and −0.2 (4.1) mm Hg during the high-sodium intervention ( P <0.001 for group differences) in high sodium-sensitive, moderate sodium-sensitive, and sodium-resistant groups, respectively. Compared with individuals with moderate sodium sensitivity, multiple-adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) for incident hypertension were 1.43 (1.03–1.98) for those with high sodium sensitivity and 1.43 (1.03–1.99) for those with sodium resistance ( P =0.006 for nonlinear trend). Furthermore, a J-shaped association between systolic BP responses to sodium intake and incident hypertension was identified ( P <0.001). Similar results were observed for diastolic BP. Our study indicates that individuals with either high sodium sensitivity or sodium resistance are at an increased risk for developing hypertension.

There is evidence in animals and in humans for accelerated natriuresis after oral compared with intravenous sodium loading. To assess the role of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) as a contributory mechanism, we compared the hormonal responses to an intravenous sodium load and to the same sodium load taken orally in three separate groups of healthy subjects in balance on low, normal, or high sodium intake. On each diet, there was a trend for an early delay in sodium excretion, followed by increased natriuresis after the oral compared with intravenous sodium load. On all levels of dietary sodium intake, there was a significant (∼2-fold) increase in plasma ANP levels after intravenous saline infusion. There was a significant suppression of the renin system both after oral and intravenous sodium loading. However, there was no acute increase in plasma ANP levels after the oral sodium load, except on the very low sodium intake. This striking and unexpected observation suggests that changes in plasma ANP levels appear to play little role in the early response to an acute oral sodium load in subjects with sodium intake in the range of 150–350 mmol/day. Endocrine mechanisms for the accelerated increase in sodium excretion after oral compared with intravenous sodium loading remain to be elucidated.

The effects of gradual (50 mmol/day) increases in dietary sodium intake from 10 to 350 mmol/day on plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), aldosterone, and plasma renin activity (PRA) were studied in six normal subjects. With the increases in sodium intake there was a progressive increase in urinary sodium from 12.2 +/- 4.4 to 314.8 +/- 31.4 mmol/24 h; plasma ANP increased gradually from 9.9 +/- 1.1 to 23.3 +/- 2.2 pg/ml, with the increases being closely associated with the changes in cumulative sodium balance. Plasma aldosterone decreased significantly from 2,519.7 +/- 147.4 pmol/l on the 10 mmol/day to 1,393.3 +/- 125.4 pmol/l when the sodium intake was increased to 50 mmol/day and decreased further to 251.6 +/- 78.7 pmol/l by the end of the study. The changes in PRA paralleled those in plasma aldosterone with the exception of no significant change in plasma PRA within 24 h of the initial increase in sodium intake. This marked sensitivity in the responses of both the ANP and the renin-aldosterone system to small increases in sodium intake clearly points to their importance in the renal adaptations to alterations in dietary sodium intake.

Modest Reduction

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.
