High dietary salt intake exacerbates Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric carcinogenesis.
Persistent colonization of the human stomach with Helicobacter pylori is a risk factor for gastric adenocarcinoma, and H. pylori-induced carcinogenesis is dependent on the actions of a bacterial oncoprotein known as CagA. Epidemiological studies have shown that high dietary salt intake is also a risk factor for gastric cancer. To investigate the effects of a high-salt diet, we infected Mongolia...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Salicornia europaea Extracts on High Salt Intake-Induced Vascular Dysfunction and Hypertension
High salt intake causes and aggravates arterial hypertension and vascular dysfunction. We investigated the effect of Salicornia europaea extracts (SE) on vascular function and blood pressure. SE constituents were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography, and SE's effect on vascular function was evaluated in isolated porcine coronary arteries. SE's vascular protective effect was als...
متن کاملUncoupling protein 2 (UCP2): Another player in the complex drama of vascular salt sensitivity.
L ong-term follow-up studies in humans have shown that salt-sensitive individuals are not only more prone to develop hypertension than salt-resistant people, but also have a higher mortality rate, even if they do not develop hypertension.1 Short-term increases in dietary salt intake lead to increased vascular oxidant stress and dramatic reductions in endothelium-dependent dilation in rats witho...
متن کاملStatins reverse renal inflammation and endothelial dysfunction induced by chronic high salt intake.
High salt intake (HS) is a risk factor for cardiovascular and kidney disease. Indeed, HS may promote blood-pressure-independent tissue injury via inflammatory factors. The lipid-lowering 3-hydroxy 3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors exert beneficial lipid-independent effects, reducing the expression and synthesis of inflammatory factors. We hypothesized that HS impairs ki...
متن کاملHigh sodium chloride intake exacerbates immobilization-induced bone resorption and protein losses.
We examined, in immobilization, the effect of a diet high in sodium chloride (NaCl) on bone markers, nitrogen balance, and acid-base status. Eight healthy male test subjects participated in a 14-day head-down-tilt bed rest (HDBR) study. During the bed rest period they received, in a randomized crossover design, a high (7.7 meq Na(+)/kg body wt per day) and a low (0.7 meq Na(+)/kg body wt per da...
