Abstract excerpt
Genetic mechanisms involved in the susceptibility to salt sensitivity have not been completely clarified. This study aimed to comprehensively examine the association between genetic variants in the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKG/PRKG) genes and blood pressure (BP) responses to dietary sodium intervention in a Chinese population. A 7-day low-sodium intervention followed by a...
