1 Dietary salt restriction increases vascular insulin resistance. Salts insulin Homo sapiens
2 It has been appreciated that salt restriction may have adverse effects on glucose and lipid metabolism--processes regulated by insulin. Salts insulin Homo sapiens
3 When the "normal" salt diet was given, vascular sensitivity for insulin was significantly less (i.e., dose that produced the half-maximal response [ED50] insulin was higher) in hypertensive subjects (ED50 insulin for hypertensive subjects, 5.75 milliunits (mU)/min; ED50 insulin for normotensive subjects, 0.23 mU/min; p < 0.05). Salts insulin Homo sapiens

Salts insulin Homo sapiens
7 When the low salt diet was given, vascular sensitivity to insulin decreased in both the normotensive and hypertensive groups, paralleling an increase in plasma norepinephrine. Salts insulin Homo sapiens
8 CONCLUSION: In these younger normotensive and hypertensive subjects, dietary salt restriction increases resistance to the vasodilating effects of insulin. Salts insulin Homo sapiens
