Highlights genetic modulation of brainstem noradrenaline in salt-sensitive rats; leaves open translation to human hypertension.
Does a high salt diet alter brain catecholamine levels differently in rats genetically sensitive versus resistant to salt-induced hypertension?
Genetic sensitivity to salt-induced hypertension in rats is associated with distinct central and peripheral catecholamine responses to a high salt diet.
Iwai et al. (1980) studied this question.
