Description: An element that is a member of the alkali group of metals. It has the atomic symbol Na, atomic number 11, and atomic weight 23. With a valence of 1, it has a strong affinity for oxygen and other nonmetallic elements. Sodium provides the chief cation of the extracellular body fluids. Its salts are the most widely used in medicine. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Physiologically the sodium ion plays a major role in blood pressure regulation, maintenance of fluid volume, and electrolyte balance.

1.	Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) 08/01/1991 - "A marked reduction of sodium intake is effective in treating even severe hypertension. " 07/01/2001 - "Increased nasal potential difference measurements may reflect generalized upregulation of sodium transport in black people compared with white people, which may help to explain the high prevalence of hypertension in black people but would not explain differences in blood pressure within separate ethnic groups." 12/01/1999 - "In response to hyperinsulinaemia, renal sodium clearance decreased to a significantly greater extent in the hypertension-prone subjects [0.57 (0.74, 0.36) ml.min(-1).1.73 m(2) (median and quartiles)] than in the controls [0.34 (0.56, 0.18) ml. min(-1).1.73 m(2)] (P=0.04). " 10/11/1996 - "Forty percent of our patients had their blood pressure effectively controlled (more than 10 mmHg reduction in mean blood pressure), being the hypotensive effect more evident in patients with recent hypertension and in those where the reduction in intraerythrocyte sodium was significantly greater than in the non-responder individuals. " 02/01/1992 - "The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system was significantly less activated with women in the supine position in pregnancy-induced hypertensive and chronic hypertensive women; however, as opposed to pregnancy-induced hypertensive women, those with chronic hypertension reassumed their humoral response to upright posture, which was accompanied by a significant reduction in sodium excretion.

2.	Pain (Aches) 10/01/1993 - "While the addition of an extra 10 g/day of sodium to the diet had no overall effect on resting cardiovascular activity, it produced significantly greater diastolic blood pressure and smaller heart rate responses to the pain stimuli. " 01/01/2009 - "The results obtained in this study suggest that Sodium lauryl sulphate cream might be useful in local pain conditions and may be an effective alternative to the presently used systemic routes." 01/01/2000 - "The groups did not differ significantly from each other in the beginning of the study in any other parameters except in pain and urine sodium. " 09/01/2009 - "Voltage-gated sodium (NaV1) channels in the peripheral nervous system and CNS play a critical role in pain signaling. " 05/01/2009 - "Discovery of sodium 6-[(5-chloro-2-{[(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)methyl]oxy}phenyl)methyl]-2-pyridinecarboxylate (GSK269984A) an EP(1) receptor antagonist for the treatment of inflammatory pain."

3.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 01/01/2008 - "The study suggested that urine weight adjusted for BW was negatively related with 24-h BP, especially morning BP. Sodium excretion combined with a large volume of urine proportional to body weight may prevent increases in BP, especially in the morning." 04/01/2005 - "The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an immediate pre-exercise, orally ingested, sodium load (164 mEq Na+) (IPOSL), equivalent to 10 ml per kilogram of body weight, on plasma volume, endurance performance, and thermoregulation. " 07/01/2003 - "Body weight and urinary sodium excretion did not change throughout the study. " 09/01/2002 - "We investigated sodium balance and its impact on body weight (BW) during a long-term balance study. " 09/01/2000 - "Sodium intake and body weight were held constant throughout the study. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Heart Failure 11/01/2002 - "In the latter group, renal PTA resulted in a large loss of sodium and water, resolution of the 'apparent' heart failure, and a marked improvement in blood pressure and renal function. " 10/01/1990 - "High-dose firosemide is considered effective in primary renal sodium retention but is not generally recommended in congestive heart failure. " 10/01/2008 - "Preclinical studies showed that pharmacological interventions, targeted against sarcolemmal sodium ion transporters, proved effective in ameliorating heart failure. " 01/01/2006 - "Ultrafiltration is effective in the treatment of fluid and sodium overload in congestive heart failure. " 01/01/2007 - "CONCLUSIONS: Serum sodium improvements during hospitalization for heart failure were associated with improved survival at 60 days." Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Weight Loss (Weight Reduction) 08/01/1975 - "With 40 there was a significant weight loss, diuresis, natriuresis, and chloruresis over 24 hr. Comparison of the divided regimen with 40 mg daily revealed significantly greater sodium excretion, and chloride excretion with 20 mg twice daily. " 01/01/1985 - "Improved BP control was strongly related to weight loss but not to reduced sodium excretion. " 02/01/2007 - "In the study and MEDLINE groups, respectively mean days of admission were 3.39 and 11.7; mean serum sodium, 156.5 and 178.6 mEq/L; and mean % weight loss, 11.5 and 25.7. " 11/01/2005 - "When achievement of sodium restriction, exercise, and weight loss goals were reached in the outpatient setting with subjects making their own food choices (as in the PREMIER study), adding the DASH diet with an average fruit and vegetable intake of 7.8 servings daily had no additional benefit in those younger than 50 years of age or in ethnic/gender subgroups, but did have a benefit for the total group older than age 50 years. " 05/01/2001 - "Such studies confirm the blood pressure-lowering effects of sodium restriction, the consumption of diets that are low in fat and enriched in fruits and vegetables, and the sustained effects of weight reduction.
