Issue Date: | Jun-2005 | Publisher: | Elsevier BV | Journal: | Atherosclerosis | Abstract: | Whether a general reduction in salt intake reduces or actually enhances cardiovascular mortality in man remains an issue of controversy. Low sodium diets may lead to adverse side effects by stimulating the renin-angiotensin and sympathetic nervous systems. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of low dietary salt on atherosclerotic lesion progression in apolipoprotein E deficient (apoE(-/-)) mice. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/9610 | ISSN: | 0021-9150 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2004.12.020 |
