Consuming a diet rich in ultra-processed foods like chips, cookies, deep-fried foods, and salty snacks were associated with a higher risk of developing dementia.
Researchers have developed a chop stick-like device that uses a weak electrical current to stimulate the tongue and enhance the taste of salt. The device could help to reduce dietary sodium intake by up to 30%.
A new study reveals salt intake decreases blood flow in the hypothalamus as neurons activate.
Too much salt can disrupt the energy balance of immune cells and prevent them from functioning correctly.
A new study reports salt could be a possible trigger for inflammation in multiple sclerosis. Researchers report cells in a high salt environment show activation of the beta catenin/Wnt signaling pathway, a pathway previously implicated in disrupting regulatory T cells and triggering inflammation.
Researchers have identified a group of neurons that respond to sodium deficiency and drive the need to consume salt.
A new study reports the production of a specific type of insulin receptor is required for gustatory memory during starvation in worms.
A new study reports high sodium intake could be a novel risk factor for MS.
Researchers find a fruit fly's salty taste sensation strategy could apply to other animals, even humans.
