Salt sensitivity threshold was measured in 230 patients with arterial hypertension and clinical and functional characteristics of hypertension in patients consuming excessive amounts of salt were studied. Patients with high salt sensitivity threshold consumed more salt with food and represented a special group of patients. These patients suffered especially severe disease which developed earlier than in patients with low threshold. Patients with high salt sensitivity threshold more often had cardiovascular complaints, neurotic traits in psychological status, aggravated heredity. These patients had higher cholesterol level and more often smoked. Clinical course of the disease in patients with high salt sensitivity threshold was more often complicated by hypertensive crises. They also had higher blood pressure throughout 24 hours and impaired circadian blood pressure rhythm. Increased myocardial volume load in patients with high salt sensitivity threshold promoted rapid development of left ventricular hypertrophy and systolic dysfunction.

Proline, a critical osmoregulatory compound, is integral to various plant stress responses. The gene, which encodes the rate-limiting enzyme in proline biosynthesis, known as ∆1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase, is fundamental to these stress response pathways. While the functions of genes in plants have been extensively documented, their specific roles in cotton remain inadequately characterized.

Salt stress is an important factor affecting the growth and development of rice, and prohexadione calcium (Pro-Ca) plays an important role in alleviating rice salt stress and improving rice yield. However, there are few studies on how Pro-Ca improves rice yield under salt stress by regulating the source-sink metabolism. In this study, we used Guanghong 3 (salt-tolerant variety) and Huanghuazhan (salt-sensitive variety) as experimental materials to investigate the dynamic changes in the synthesis and partitioning of nonstructural carbohydrates among source-sink, the dynamic changes in related enzyme activities, the effects of the source-sink metabolism on yield in rice under salt stress and the effect of Pro-Ca during the filling period.
