High-salt diets may impair resistance artery dilation via ANG II suppression in normotensive rat models; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does a high-salt diet impair vasodilator responses in resistance arteries of normotensive rats via ANG II suppression?
High salt intake impairs vascular relaxation mechanisms upstream from cAMP and cGMP systems via suppression of ANG II.
