The effect of stress on NaCl intake was examined in mice given a choice of water and 1.5% NaCl to drink. Immobilization of mice for 15-min and 24-h food deprivation resulted in a 2.5- and 5-fold increases in NaCl intake, respectively, without affecting water intake. Naloxone treatment (0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 mg/kg) produced a dose-dependent decrease in the stress-induced NaCl intake, as did captopril treatment (5, 10 and 50 mg/kg). Intraventricular injection of angiotensin II in mice resulted in an increase in 1.5% NaCl intake, which was blocked by naloxone. Morphine (10 mg/kg) increased the preference of mice for a normally aversive 3.0% NaCl solution, but not for preferred, less concentrated, solutions of NaCl. The results suggest that both endogenous opioids and angiotensin II contribute to stress-induced NaCl intake, and that endogenous opioids may also mediate the increase in NaCl intake, observed with angiotensin II.

: Increased sodium chloride (NaCl) intake led to leukocyte activation and impaired vasodilatation via increased oxidative stress in human/animal models. Interestingly, subpressor doses of angiotensin II (AngII) restored endothelium-dependent vascular reactivity, which was impaired in a high-salt (HS) diet in animal models. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the effects of AngII exposure following high salt (HS) loading on endothelial cells' (ECs') viability, activation, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.

Table olive processing implies losses of mineral nutrients and increased sodium levels due to using brine during fermentation and storage. This study investigated fortifying traditional table olives with mixtures of KCl, CaCl, and MgCl during packaging to enhance mineral content while reducing NaCl. This research analyses the distribution of cations between olives and brines and employed the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to model mineral content and their contributions to the Reference Daily Intake (RDI).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the toxicity of salt on obesity using Drosophila larvae and adult flies, testing varying salt concentrations (50-800 µM).
- At lower concentrations (50 and 200 µM), significant weight gain and increased feeding behavior were observed, with larvae and adult flies displaying abnormal responses to temperature and light stimuli.
- The findings reveal that while lower salt concentrations induce stronger adverse effects, higher concentrations deter feeding, suggesting a complex relationship between salt intake and obesity-related behaviors.

Article Synopsis
- The World Health Organization aims to reduce salt intake by 30% by 2025, prompting this study to explore the effects of replacing 33% of NaCl with KCl and microencapsulated spices in a dry-cured meat sausage.
- The formulations tested (Control, F1, F2, F3) maintained microbial safety, showing no growth of harmful bacteria while lactic acid bacteria remained stable.
- Consumer preference indicated that F1, with the adjusted salt levels, was favored as the ideal saltiness for potential market launch, confirming that significant NaCl replacement can be done without compromising taste or safety.

The objective was to investigate the effects of calcium and rumen buffer sources on lactational performance, ruminal fermentation, enteric gas emissions, apparent total-tract digestibility of nutrients, and blood variables of lactating dairy cows. A replicated 3 × 3 Latin square design experiment was conducted with 9 primi- and 9 multiparous mid-lactation Holstein cows. Cows were fed the same basal diet, except for the inclusion (as % DMI) of the following minerals: (1) CON, 0.
