lüll High-salt diet and hypertension: focus on the renin-angiotensin system Drenjancevic-Peric I; Jelakovic B; Lombard JH; Kunert MP; Kibel A; Gros MKidney Blood Press Res 2011[]; 34 (1): 1-11A high-salt diet is one of the major risk factors in the development and maintenance of hypertension. Numerous experimental and observational studies have confirmed the association of sodium intake with blood pressure levels. The effects of a high-salt diet are related to the function of the renin-angiotensin system, which is normally suppressed by a high-salt diet. Endothelial dysfunction probably plays an important role in the influence of high sodium intake on blood pressure, although the exact mechanisms remain elusive. Genetic factors are known to be very important, and various consomic and congenic rat strains as animal models have proven to be very useful in bringing us a step closer to understanding the interaction between salt intake and hypertension.
