Salt restriction among hypertensive patients: Modest blood pressure effect and no adverse effects
Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care, 05/28/09

Meland E et al. - Salt restriction did not influence glucose and insulin metabolism, aldosterone, or lipid levels adversely. The authors observed better blood pressure regulation in the low salt group than in the high salt group, with a systolic and diastolic blood pressure difference of 5/5 mmHg after eight weeks. The difference was only statistically significant for diastolic blood pressure, p 0.02. This study revealed a modest diastolic blood pressure reducing effect of moderate sodium restriction. This reduction was obtained without any apparent unfavourable side effects such as increased insulin secretion, impaired glucose tolerance or dyslipidaemia.
