Efficacy of Dietary Sodium Restriction of Improving Vascular Endothelial Function in Middle Aged and Older Adults
2015年12月4日 更新者:Douglas Seals、University of Colorado, Boulder
The investigators hypothesize that reducing salt in the diet will improve the function of blood vessels in middle aged and older adults with moderately elevated systolic blood pressure, by increasing the amount of BH4 and nitric oxide in your blood vessels and reducing the amount of oxidative stress.
研究概览
详细说明
The improvement in blood vessel function will be determined over a 10 week period.
Subjects will be randomly assigned to either a 'low salt' condition (placebo pills + 1200 mg dietary sodium) or a 'normal salt' condition (2300 mg sodium chloride pills + 1200 mg dietary sodium) and monitored for 5 weeks.
After the initial set of 5 weeks, the subjects are switched into the opposite condition, completing the cross-over study design.
During weeks 1-4 and 6-9, subjects are monitored weekly with 24 hour urine collections and diet logs.
The assessment of the primary outcome (blood vessel function) is completed during weeks 5 and 10.
BH4 and ascorbic acid are also administered during weeks 5 and 10 to measure the effects of sodium intake on endogenous BH4 levels and vascular oxidative stress.

参与者组/臂 |
干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
其他:Normal sodium
Subjects on a 1200 mg sodium diet are given 2300 mg sodium in the form of slow sodium tablets to bring them back up to a normal salt intake.
Subjects then cross-over to the low sodium condition in the second half of the study.
|
The normal salt condition is maintained with 2300 mg / day in the form of slowly released salt (NaCl) tablets.
|
|
其他:Low sodium
Subjects on a 1200 mg salt diet are given placebo pills in order to maintain them on a low salt diet.
Subjects then cross-over to the normal sodium condition in the second half of the study.
|
Placebo tablets are administered to maintain the low sodium condition.

Improved Flow Mediated Dilation
大体时间:Week 5 (after first condition of low salt or normal salt), Week 10 (after second condition, opposite to first)

FMD is analyzed at weeks 5 and 10 or after each condition in this cross-over study design.
Subjects are randomly assigned to a low salt or normal salt condition for the first set of 5 weeks and then crossed over to the other condition for the second set of 5 weeks.
