Article Abstract
Background: High dietary salt, as well as renal mass reduction, is known to decrease baroreflex sensitivity in rats. However, the effect of high salt intake on baroreflex sensitivity is unknown in reduced renal mass (RRM) hypertension; therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of salt loading on arterial baroreflex sensitivity and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in RRM hypertension.
Methods: Both RRM and sham-operated control (SO) rats were loaded with 0.25 or 0.5% NaCl for five weeks. Plasma Na, K, and creatinine levels were measured, and baroreflex sensitivity was evaluated before and after β blockade. In addition, cardiac vagal tone and intrinsic heart rate (IHR) were measured.
Results: RRM decreased full baroreflex sensitivity of the tachycardic response under 0.5% NaCl loading and the parasympathetic bradycardic response under 0% NaCl loading. The NaCl loading did not affect the severity of RRM hypertension. Cardiac vagal tone and IHR decreased in RRM rats versus SO controls under all NaCl loading conditions. RRM decreased plasma K under 0% NaCl loading and increased plasma Na under 0.5% NaCl loading. High (0.5%) NaCl loading decreased IHR and increased plasma creatinine and left ventricular weight in RRM rats.
Conclusions: RRM in combination with 0.5% NaCl loading led to a decrease in the sensitivity of full baroreflex and of the parasympathetic component of baroreflex. Changes in plasma Na and K levels, due to NaCl loading, may have contributed to the decrease in baroreflex sensitivities and IHR but had no effect upon MAP in RRM rats.

The immobilization of radioactive cesium (Cs) within sodalite frameworks is a critical challenge in nuclear waste management. This study employs density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the structural evolution, thermodynamic stability, and bonding mechanisms of Cs-incorporated sodalite (NaCsAlSiOCl, 0 ≤ ≤ 8). Formation energy calculations reveal a concentration-dependent preference for Cs substitution, with a minimum of 0.

Increased weight-bearing load has previously been shown to reduce body weight in obese rodents, primarily by lowering food intake. However, it remains unclear whether increased loading also affects body weight through acute changes in extracellular water. This study aimed to determine whether increased weight-bearing load acutely produces negative sodium and water balances, as indicators of changes in whole-body extracellular sodium and water content.

We present a straightforward emulsion-induced interfacial anisotropic assembly method for in- situ synthesis of bowl-shaped, self-encapsulated mesoporous polydopamine (BMPDA) nanocontainers (M-M@P) loaded with 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (2-MBI). Results showed that the loading capacity of the bowl-shaped mesoporous polydopamine reaches 24 wt.%.

The fatigue performance of a recently developed nickel superalloy disc was investigated at 700 °C in two environments: air and sulphur dioxide (SO). Prior to testing, specimens were coated with various amounts of sodium sulphate (NaSO) and sodium chloride (NaCl) mixed salt (98% NaSO + 2% NaCl), and the influence of both environment and salt loading on corrosion fatigue were assessed. Preliminary results showed that salt exposure in air reduced fatigue strength, with greater damage at higher salt levels.
