We aimed to assess whether a 7-day high-salt (HS) diet affects endothelium-dependent and/or endothelium-independent microvascular function in the absence of changes arterial blood pressure (BP), and determine such are associated with body composition fluid status healthy young humans.Fifty-three individuals (28 women 25 men) were assigned low-salt (<3.5 g salt/day) followed by HS (∼14 salt/day). Skin flow response iontophoresis acetylcholine (ACh) sodium nitroprusside (SNP) was assessed...
This study aimed to examine whether the oral supplementation of vitamins C and E during a seven-day high salt diet (HS; ~14 g salt/day) prevents microvascular endothelial function impairment changes oxidative status caused by HS in 51 (26 women 25 men) young healthy individuals. Laser Doppler flowmetry measurements demonstrated that skin post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH), acetylcholine-induced dilation (AChID) were significantly impaired group, but not HS+C+E while sodium...
The goal of the present study was to examine effect 1 wk high salt (HS) intake and role oxidative stress in changing mechanisms flow-induced dilation (FID) isolated pressurized middle cerebral arteries male Sprague-Dawley rats ( n = 15-16 rats/group). Reduced FID HS group restored by superoxide scavenger tempol (HS + vivo group). nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester, cyclooxygenase indomethacin, selective microsomal cytochrome P-450 epoxidase activity...
To assess sex-related differences in forearm skin microvascular reactivity to vascular occlusion and cardiovascular health young healthy women men.203 individuals (67 men/136 women) participated this study. Post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) microcirculation following 1', 2' 3' period was assessed using laser Doppler flowmetry. Anthropometric parameters, body composition, blood pressure, heart rate biochemical parameters were measured all participants. Correlations between PORH...
This study is aimed at assessing the effects of a short-term high-salt (HS) diet on peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) activation status in healthy rats and young human individuals. Distribution PBL subpopulations surface expression integrins were determined using flow cytometry 36 men women 7-day low-salt (<3.2 g salt/day) immediately followed by HS (~14 or Sprague-Dawley (SD) (n = 24) 0.4% NaCl (aLS group) 4% (aHS for 7 days. The aHS group presented with an increased frequency granulocytes,...
Objective: Our earlier studies demonstrated that 7-days high-salt (HS) diet impairs vascular reactivity in forearm skin microcirculation, as well increases level of oxidative stress young healthy individuals, independently arterial blood pressure (BP) changes. The aim the present study was to test whether HS diet-induced increased have direct role observed microvascular changes by functionally testing if antioxidant vitamins supplementation during will prevent impairment response occlusion...
Aim: Determination of antioxidative enzyme glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx3) serum concentrations after consumption food which contains different selenium (Se). Research subjects and methods: Four-week-old Sprague Dawley rats consumed containing Se (food Divan) over a period 10 weeks. The animals were divided into two groups: 1) normal (0.363 mg/kg Se) 2) low (0.030 Se). Each animal was weighed at the end protocol, samples collected for determining GPx3 concentrations. All experimental...
Abstract Objective: It is well documented that high salt (HS) diet causes increased oxidative stress. Present study aimed to test the effect of 7-day HS on serum protein concentrations Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD), glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1) and catalase, examine whether oral supplementation non-specific ROS scavengers (vitamin C vitamin E) during loading will change these antioxidant enzymes in otherwise healthy normotensive individuals. Design method: 40 young individuals...
