Low-sodium intake suppresses vascular angiotensin formation; supports functional tissue RAS but leaves clinical relevance hypothesis-generating.
Do different sodium diets alter the metabolism of angiotensins through vascular tissue in normotensive healthy subjects?
This study provides evidence for a functional tissue-based renin-angiotensin system in human vasculature that responds inversely to the circulating renin-angiotensin system under different sodium intakes.
Boddi et al. (1998) studied this question.
