Objectives: Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO), which plays an important role in natriuresis. We determined whether changes in endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDD) and plasma ADMA predict changes in blood pressure (BP) after salt loading in normotensive postmenopausal women (PMW).
Methods: In 15 normotensive PMW (age 50-60 years), not receiving estrogen, ambulatory 24-h BP, plasma lipids, and ADMA were measured after 4 days of a low-salt diet (70 mEq/day) and following 7 days of high-salt intake (260 mEq/day).
