Abstract
To clarify the role of sodium intake in the regulation of blood pressure in obese subjects, we measured blood pressure in 60 obese and 18 nonobese adolescents after successive two-week periods of a high-salt diet (>250 mmol of sodium per day) and a low-salt diet (<30 mmol per day).Keywords
