Article Synopsis
- Cerebral blood flow autoregulation helps protect brain tissue by adjusting vascular resistance to maintain perfusion pressure, but a high-salt diet can impair this function.
- A study with 27 healthy participants compared the effects of a low-salt diet versus a high-salt diet on the middle cerebral artery's response to changes in position (orthostatic challenge).
- Findings indicated that while blood pressure remained normal during the high-salt diet, it resulted in increased cerebrovascular resistance and decreased sympathetic neural activity, affecting blood flow response to standing up.
