Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Low sodium intake is paradoxically associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), possibly from renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation, leading to endothelial dysfunction. In the present study, we investigated the associations between habitual sodium intake and RAAS blockade on endothelial function by measuring circulating microparticles (MPs) in individuals with T2D. METHODS: We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional study in 74 individuals with T2D. Habitual dietary sodium intake was estimated by using the mean of three corrected 24-h urine sodium excretion measurements (24hUNa). MP subtypes in platelet-free ..
