The mechanisms whereby dietary sodium restriction leads to decreased arterial blood pressure is obscure. Previously reported studies of patients with arterial hypertension showed a lessened pressor response to norepinephrine after sodium restriction. In the present investigations, reduction in pressor response to norepinephrine during the low sodium period was observed only occasionally; sodium restriction decreases blood pressure in some hypertensive patients by other unknown mechanisms.
