Differential baroreflex responses to salt in Dahl rats suggest genetic modulation of autonomic function; leaves open translation to human salt-sensitive hypertension.
Does a high salt diet alter cardiopulmonary baroreflex function in Dahl salt-resistant and salt-sensitive rats?
A high salt diet differentially affects cardiopulmonary baroreflex sensitivity, augmenting it in salt-resistant rats while tending to impair it in salt-sensitive rats.
Victor et al. (1986) studied this question.
