Abstract excerpt
High salt intake (HS) is associated with obesity and insulin resistance. ET-1, a peptide released in response to HS, inhibits the actions of insulin on cultured adipocytes through ET-1 type B (ETB) receptors; however, the in vivo implications of ETB receptor activation on lipid metabolism and insulin resistance is unknown. We hypothesized that activation of ETB receptors in response to HS intake promotes...
