Environmental NaCl affects <i>C. elegans</i> development and aging
2025-03-11
Abstract excerpt
Sodium is an essential nutrient, but is toxic in excess. In humans, excessive dietary sodium can cause high blood pressure, which contributes to age-related diseases including stroke and heart disease. We used C. elegans to elucidate how sodium levels influence animal aging.
