Background: A direct relationship between salt intake and blood pressure is widely accepted. However, the relationship between changing salt intake, salt excretion, and total-body sodium (TBNa) is inferred but not known. Without such basic knowledge, the mechanisms leading to the blood pressure elevation cannot be determined. Purpose: We tested the hypothesis whether or not long-term dietary salt restriction from 12g/day to 9g/day and 6g/day significantly lowers blood pressure in healthy volunteers during the Mars500 campaign. We sought to perform long-term balance studies to monitor sodium retention, sodium los…
