Contextualization and Sodium Diet Implications of Occoquan Reservoir Salinization
… water have some of the highest concentrations of sodium and chloride statewide. Additional investigations determined the trend of sodium increases in finished drinking water since the 1980s. Monte Carlo simulations were ran to determined whether there would be risks to human from ingesting this …

A comparison of two methods for teaching principles of the fat-controlled, low sodium diet
… basic principles of the fat -controlled, low sodium diet. Thirty male subjects of the study sample were randomly assigned to one of two equal groups. One group was taught principles of the diet by a slide-tape recording presentation an d the other by a verbal diet instruction. After …

The effects of melatonin on vascular function, oxidative stress and blood pressure reactivity during a high sodium diet
High sodium diets (HSD) can reduce the ability of the arteries to properly dilate (i.e., vascular dysfunction), partially due to increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS). HSD can also cause exaggerated increases in blood pressure (BP) during different physiological perturbations (BP reactivity). …

Effects of Low and High Sodium Chloride Diets and Furosemide Administration on Cardiac Function, Plasma Electrolyte Concentrations, and the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System
… heart failure is commonly treated with a low sodium diet and diuretic. The purpose of this treatment is the reduction of preload, or blood volume presented to the diseased cardiac muscle. The purpose of this study was to assess the roles of dietary sodium and furosemide on cardiac function, …

The role played by angiotensin (1-7) in the regulation of renal haemodynamics and excretory function in anesthetized rats
… was compromised in rats receiving a high sodium diet (suppressed RAAS) and enhanced in low sodium fed rats (activated RAAS)? Could the answer lie with changes in intra-renal AT1 or Mas receptor expression? Interestingly, the observed Ang (1-7) induced increases in sodium and water …

Analysis of the role of the mineralocorticoid receptor in renal principal cell sodium reabsorption in vivo
… early postnatal lethality due to massive loss of sodium and water associated with impaired epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) activity in kidney and colon. The aim of the present study was the analysis of the role of renal principal cell MR, which is activated by aldosterone, in ENaC-mediated sodium …

Increasing Self Care Compliance with Follow-up Appointments
… from the hospital. Learning how to manage diet, medications, and other lifestyle changes needed for symptom management can lead to multiple readmissions and rapid progression of condition. Many patients feel overwhelmed at time of discharge from the hospital, and many miss key components in …

Effects of one method of intensive nutrition counseling on short term and long term sodium ingestion
… incorporating an intensive individualized low sodium diet instruction, a multidisciplinary team (physician, nurse, registered dietitian) effort, and immediate feedback on the level of sodium excreted in two 24-hour urine collections, with no nutrition follow-up counseling was carried out in 10 …

Dietary interventions and strategies to reduce sodium consumption and volume overload in hemodialysis patients
… remained a challenging problem in hemodialysis. Dietary sodium restriction is a critically important strategy for preventing volume overload, yet has not been the focus of routine clinical counseling or research interventions. This is likely because there are significant barriers to following a …

Impact of Stress and Coping on Adherence and Health Status in Patients with Hypertension
… time since diagnosis coping, adherence to a low sodium diet, and professional support. The strongest predictors of diastolic blood pressure were age, time since diagnosis, coping, and adherence to medications. The strongest predictors of health perceptions were ways of coping. Perceived stress …

Investigations Related to Dietary Sodium in Chronic Heart Failure
Sodium restriction is the primary dietary therapy for individuals with heart failure (HF); however, there is little information available to support or refute the use of sodium restriction to manage HF. The overall goal of this work was to generate data related to dietary sodium in patients with …

Pharmacological modulation of insulin resistance - benefits and harms
… (i) During a five-day high sodium diet, two known TZD-intolerant<br/>individuals with T2DM had reductions in haematocrit, aldosterone, and diastolic BP and increases in ANP and central and peripheral augmentation indices which were outwith reference ranges derived from nine …

Regulation of Functional Expression of Mechanosensitive Trpv4 Channel In The Distal Nephron By Dietary Potassium and Sodium Intake
… significantly increased by high K<sup>+</sup> diet (5%) and decreased by dietary K<sup>+</sup> restriction (0.003%). In contrast, variations in Na<sup>+</sup> regimen had no apparent effect on TRPV4 expression and mRNA levels. Regulation of TRPV4 protein expression by K<sup>+</sup> diet was …
