Hypothesis-generating for salt-aldosterone links in hypertensive models; leaves open relevance to human disease.
Does high salt intake increase cardiovascular aldosterone synthesis in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats?
High salt intake increases local cardiovascular aldosterone production and AT1R expression in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats, potentially contributing to malignant hypertension.
Takeda et al. (2001) studied this question.
