圣彼得堡消息:美国医学科学家报道了过量食盐引起高血压的“第一个直接证据”。马里兰大学医学院生理学科负责人Mordocai Blaustein博士说,关于食盐导致高血压的说法,其关键问题是腑分泌出一种排钠激素。他在本地举行的美国心脏病协会讨论会上说,他用生化分析的方法进行实验,现已证明高血压患者血液中存在此种激素。他将此种激素与机体排除过量的钠,以及引起高血压的功脉收缩联系起来。他说:“我们的实验室及世界上的另外几个实验室正竭尽全力提纯此种排钠激素,并设法弄清其特征”。 St. Petersburg: US medical scientists report “the first direct evidence” of excessive salt-induced hypertension. Dr. Mordocai Blaustein, head of physiology at the University of Maryland’s Medical School, says the key issue with salt-induced hypertension is the secretion of a hormone called sodium. Speaking at a symposium held by the American Heart Association at a local conference, he said that he had experimented with a biochemical analysis that has been shown to be present in the blood of hypertensive patients. He linked this hormone to the body’s ability to rule out excess sodium and the systolic blood pressure that causes high blood pressure. He said: “Our laboratory and several other laboratories around the world are doing their utmost to purify this sodium-binding hormone and try to understand its characteristics.”
