- Title
Salt restriction among hypertensive patients: modest blood pressure effect and no adverse effects.
- Authors
Meland, Eivind; Aamland, Aase
- Abstract
Previous studies, mainly evaluating short-term very low salt diets, suggest that salt restriction may influence glucose and insulin metabolism, catecholamines, renin, aldosterone, and lipid levels adversely. The authors wanted to explore whether sodium restriction for eight weeks influenced insulin secretion unfavourably, and evaluate the efficacy and safety of such treatment also in terms of other parameters important in the management of hypertensive patients.
