Brief description Excessive salt and energy intake have emerged as major features of the unhealthy fast-food culture. Salt promotes high blood pressure, whereas high energy intakes increase obesity and diabetes. In this study, we aim to determine how energy availability and salt handling are linked in the kidney. This research will lead to new ways to treat high blood pressure by limiting salt reabsorption in the kidney.
