Mineralocorticoid receptor blockade inhibits accelerated atherosclerosis induced by a low sodium diet in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice
Introduction: A low-sodium diet (LSD) was shown to increase both angiotensin II (AngII) and aldosterone levels, and to accelerate atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient (E0) mice. The aim of the present study was to examine whether accelerated atherosclerosis in E0 mice fed a LSD is mediated...
