NCT ID NCT04244604
Summary
This study aimed to understand why Black individuals are more prone to high blood pressure and heart problems from eating too much salt. Researchers compared how a single high-salt meal affected blood pressure and blood vessel function in healthy Black and White adults. They measured changes after participants ate a low-salt or high-salt soup to see if one group's body handled the salt differently.
