Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND We examined the association between 14 endothelial system genes and salt-sensitivity of blood pressure (BP). METHODS After a 3-day baseline examination, during which time the usual diet was consumed, 1,906 Chinese participants received a 7-day low-sodium diet (51.3 mmol of sodium/day) followed by a 7-day high-sodium diet (307.8 mmol of sodium/day). BP measurements were obtained at baseline and at the...
