About this study

Many large-scale epidemiological studies have established a link between the average consumption of table salt (sodium chloride) and blood pressure. In France a survey conducted in 2001 showed that the average consumption of salt is 9 to 10g per people / day, and health authorities considered it appropriate to reduce consumption about 20%, by limiting contributions of sodium in prepared foods, bread.

In terms of basic and clinical research, the biological effects of sodium chloride dietary intake, have been the subject of numerous studies for several decades. This work showed that all subjects do not react uniformly to sodium chloride flows, determining what the investigators call people "sodium-sensitive". For these people the sodium intake elevated blood pressure, much more marked than in subjects called "sodium-resistant."

"Sodium-sensitive" people represent 10 to 30% of the population. A marked over-representation of this phenotype was observed in patients with hypertension or a family history of hypertension.

In addition, studies conducted in animals and humans indicate that sodium intake has a different impact on biological parameters mentioned above, as is done in the form of chloride salt or bicarbonate of sodium.

Based on these factors, investigators developed a clinical trial protocol intended to highlight a possible differential effect in the biological effects of the same sodium intake (2.56 g / day) orally, depending on the nature salt.

All the subjects will realize the 4 visits of the cross over study, and will received Nacl and placebo according to the randomisation plan.

Visit 4 and visit 6 contained the same interventions for the participant (exept the consultation with the dietetician) and visit 5 et 7 are the same regarding the interventions for the participant.

  • Assay of urinary sodium excretion
  • Consultation with a dietician.
  • Delivery of a diet record , and a booklet to be completed every day of the study period
  • Reminder of the use of the blood pressure measure device
  • Delivery of the study treatment according to the randomisation plan :

6.51 g of NaCl per day to distribute on the various meals + 1.5 liters of spring water (poor in sodium) to drink each day, Or placebo NaCl every day to distribute on the various meals + 1.5 liters of spring water (with sodium bicarbonate) to drink each day.

Every day during 14 days The first take of treatment will be done on the Clinical Pharmacology Center

  • Delivery of the urinary bottle for the twenty-four-hour urine analysis before Visit 5

Visit 5 (Day 14) :

  • Return of the urinary bottle, of the empty treatment (to check compliance), of the diet record and of the booklet
  • Collection of adverse events and concomitant treatment
  • Clinical examination
  • Blood pressure measure
  • Arterial compliance (non invasive)
  • Measure of weight
  • Impedancemetry
  • Blood sample for biological analysis (electrolyte pattern + serum creatinine + Renine + Aldosterone + Angiotensin II and MPE assay)
  • Assay of urinary sodium excretion
  • Delivery of the urinary bottle for the twenty-four-hour urine analysis before Visit 6

Wash-out 2 (at least 2 weeks) pursuit of the dietary instructions.

Second study period

Visit 6 (day28) - beginning period 2

Visite 7 (Day42) - end of period 2 and end of study

This second period is the same as the first period, except that the subject will not have the consultation with the dietetician and will receive the other study treatment according to the randomization plan.

Ancillary Study This trial contains an ancillary study of genotypage (optional with specific consent of the subject) with the aim of the confrontation with the phenotyping.

For that purpose, a blood sample will be made in the period of selection on the subject who gives their consent, in the same time of the blood sample for renal biology at visit 1.

These results would allow to identify biomarkers of blood pressure sensibility at the sodium.
