Abstract
Purpose of review: To provide a summary of current literature and propose potential mechanistic models to help us understand the role of HIV infection/antiretroviral therapy (ART), salt taste sensitivity (STS), and salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP) in hypertension development.
Recent findings: The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is the main protein/sodium channel for recognizing Na + in the tongue and mediates preference to low-medium salt concentrations in animals and humans. Considering the pressor response to oral salt in individuals with SSBP, poor STS may worsen blood pressure. Specific genetic variants in ENaC are linked to salt taste perception and hypertension. HIV infection, some ART, and specific antihypertensive drugs are associated with reduced STS and an increased liking for salty foods. Persons with HIV (PWH) on ART may have a decreased STS and are at a higher risk of developing salt-sensitive hypertension. Inflammation mediated by dietary salt is one of the drivers of poor STS and salt-sensitive hypertension among PWH.
期刊介绍：
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hypertension.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antihypertensive therapies, associated metabolic disorders, and therapeutic trials. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
