Responses of sodium balance, blood pressure, and other variables to sodium loading in Papua New Guinea highlanders

For determination of the responses of sodium balance, blood pressure, and other relevant variables to Na loading in people with a low intake of Na, 10 male Papua New Guinea highland subjects were given additional Na at two levels (128 and 256 mmol/d) for 10 d after a 3-d control period of low-Na diet. Na loading caused a marked positive balance of Na, decreases of aldosterone concentration and renin activity in the plasma, and a decrease of urinary aldosterone excretion. The blood pressure, particularly that measured at noon, increased in the latter half of the Na-loading period, the increase being significant in the group given 256 mmol of sodium daily: the systolic and diastolic blood pressure increased from 92 +/- 8 over 56 +/- 7 mm Hg in the control period to 102 +/- 7 over 60 +/- 4 mm Hg in the latter half of the test period (p less than 0.05).
