Salt sensitivity was associated with lower glucose utilization in hypertension; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Is high NaCl sensitivity associated with insulin resistance in patients with untreated mild or moderate essential hypertension?
Essential hypertensive patients with high salt sensitivity exhibit relative insulin resistance compared to those with low salt sensitivity, independent of obesity and glucose intolerance.
Galletti et al. (1997) studied this question.
