High-salt diet augments systolic blood pressure and induces arterial dysfunction in outbred, genetically diverse mice

Abstract excerpt

Excess salt consumption is a contributor to hypertension and arterial dysfunction in humans living in industrialized societies, but this phenotype is not observed in inbred, genetically identical mice that consume a high-salt (HS) diet. This study reveals that a HS diet in outbred, genetically diverse mice progressively increases systolic blood pressure and induce arterial dysfunction. These data suggest that...
