Does dietary salt-loading impair endothelium-dependent relaxation in response to histamine and acetylcholine in rat aortic rings?
Dietary salt-loading in rats selectively impairs endothelium-dependent relaxation in response to histamine but not acetylcholine, highlighting a specific mechanism of endothelial dysfunction in salt-induced hypertension.
Obiefuna et al. (1991) studied this question.
