چکیده

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of salt intake on insulin sensitivity and the relation between salt sensitivity and insulin sensitivity in genetically hypertension-prone individuals. Twenty-eight healthy subjects (13 men and 15 women) with a family history of hypertension were examined at baseline, after 1 week of salt restriction (10 mmol/d), and after 1 week of salt loading (240 mmol/d). Insulin sensitivity was measured with the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp after the low- and high-salt diets. Salt sensitivity was defined as the difference in mean arterial blood pressure between the high-salt and the low-salt diets. There was no significant relationship between insulin sensitivity and salt sensitivity after either of the 2 diets. In the men, salt sensitivity was inversely related to plasma renin activity (r=-0.61, P=0.03) and plasma aldosterone (r=-0.74, P=0.004), whereas salt sensitivity in women was directly correlated with the salt-induced increase in body weight (r=0.68, P=0.005). In men, the high-salt diet induced a change in glucose disposal that was strongly correlated with the degree of salt sensitivity (r=0.83, P=0. 0004), plasma renin activity (r=-0.82, P=0.0006), and plasma aldosterone concentrations (r=-0.87, P=0.00009) (eg, the greater the salt sensitivity and the lower the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, the greater improvement in insulin sensitivity). No such relationships were observed in women. In conclusion, increased salt sensitivity and decreased activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system predict improved insulin sensitivity with high-salt intake compared with low-salt intake in men, suggesting an interaction among salt intake, salt sensitivity, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and insulin action.

High-salt diet enhances insulin signaling and induces insulin resistance in Dahl salt-sensitive rats.

A high-salt diet, which is known to contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension, is also reportedly associated with insulin resistance. We investigated the effects of a high-salt diet on insulin sensitivity and insulin signaling in salt-sensitive (Dahl-S) and salt resistant (Dahl-R) strains of the Dahl rat. Evaluation of hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp studies and glucose uptake into the i...

Effect of salt-loading on blood pressure, insulin sensitivity and limb blood flow in normal subjects.

1. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of high (220 mmol/day) and low (40 mmol/day) salt intake for 6 days on blood pressure, leg blood flow and insulin sensitivity in 18 healthy normotensive subjects. 2. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure was measured at baseline, during salt-loading and salt-depletion. Insulin sensitivity was determined by a two-step euglycaemic-hyperin...

Association of insulin resistance with salt sensitivity and nocturnal fall of blood pressure.

Insulin resistance was demonstrated in hypertensive patients and in salt-sensitive subjects. It was recently reported that the salt-sensitive state was related to a reduced fall in blood pressure during the night in essential hypertension. In the present study, the relationship among insulin sensitivity, blood pressure response to salt intake, and nocturnal fall in blood pressure was examined i...

Stability Analysis of Salt Cavern Gas Storage Using 2D Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Finite-Element Software

Ensuring the stability and integrity of underground gas storage salt caverns is a very complicated subject due to the non-linear and time-dependent behavior of rock salts under complicated thermal and mechanical loading conditions. For this reason, pressure and temperature fluctuations in the caverns and their surrounding strata must be integrated into the analysis and the numerical tools that ...

High- or low-salt diet from weaning to adulthood: effect on insulin sensitivity in Wistar rats.

Because of conflicting results in the literature, further studies are needed to confirm an association between the degree of salt consumption and insulin sensitivity. The aim of this study was to measure insulin sensitivity in rats fed from weaning to adulthood with a low (LSD), normal (NSD), or high (HSD) salt diet. Body weight, carcass lipid content, blood glucose, nonesterified fatty acids, ...
