Sodium Intake Is associated With Endothelial Damage Biomarkers and Metabolic Dysregulation.

Background: Mounting evidence has associated high sodium (HS) intake with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. We investigated whether HS intake modulates the parameters of endothelial damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

Methods: We used a cross-sectional study design including 223 Chilean subjects (6.
