    Snippet: Following a two week baseline period where dogs were fed a Control Diet containing 0.13 g sodium/100 kcal ME, twenty healthy dogs (6-10 years old) were allocated to two groups and fed diets differing only in total sodium chloride content: CONTROL (CON) = 0.13 g sodium /100 kcal ME, or High Sodium Diet (HNA) = 0.41 g sodium/100 kcal ME. Dogs were fed their respective diet for 6 months. During this period, indirect systolic blood pressure was recor.....
    Document: Following a two week baseline period where dogs were fed a Control Diet containing 0.13 g sodium/100 kcal ME, twenty healthy dogs (6-10 years old) were allocated to two groups and fed diets differing only in total sodium chloride content: CONTROL (CON) = 0.13 g sodium /100 kcal ME, or High Sodium Diet (HNA) = 0.41 g sodium/100 kcal ME. Dogs were fed their respective diet for 6 months. During this period, indirect systolic blood pressure was recorded monthly. Overall health, cardiac function evaluated by echocardiography (performed by boarded veterinary cardiologist), plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), serum biochemistry and urinalyses were assessed at 0 and 6 months on test. Body composition was analyzed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at 0, 3 and 6 months. Treatment effects were analyzed using t-test and Generalized Linear Mixed Models.
