No U‐turn on sodium reduction

Sodium Reduction

Effect of dietary sodium reduction on red blood cell sodium concentration and sodium-lithium countertransport.

A randomized, crossover trial was carried out on the effect of moderate sodium reduction on red-blood-cell sodium metabolism. The participants were healthy high school students (mean age = 16 years, n = 33). Changes in sodium-lithium countertransport and intracellular sodium concentration were evaluated 24 days after a decrease in dietary sodium from approximately 110 to 40 mEq per day. Dietary...

Selective Catalytic Reduction of CuO/SiO2 Nano-composites towards NO Reduction in Gas-phase

The xerogel samples were prepared by hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) by the sol-gel method. In this investigation, a new molar ratio of H2O/TEOS was determined to be 11.7. Also, the necessary amounts of tri-hydrated copper nitrate and penta-hydrated copper sulfate were added to the solution in such a manner that the concentration of the copper oxide in final solut...

Sodium shows no mercy on the nanomechanics of endothelial cells.

Does sodium reduction affect mortality?

Evidence • A systematic review of 7 RCTs lasting 6 months or longer (N = 6489) compared participants consuming reduced dietary sodium with control participants.1 Average baseline sodium intake of about 3900 mg was reduced to about 3000 mg per day. The longest followup data for normotensive and hypertensive participants showed no statistically significant difference in -all-cause mortality—relat...
