[The effect of the mineral composition of the diet on cholesterol metabolic indices and the experimental correction of propranolol-induced atherogenic dyslipoproteinemia].

Rat experiments have revealed that surplus sodium chloride intake causes dyslipoproteinemia and intensifies the atherogenic action of propranolol. The new antihypertensive and antiedematous table salt substitute, as sanasole exerts its hypocholesterolemic effect. Both dietary salt mixtures eliminates the atherogenic action of beta-adrenoblocker. The application of table salt substitutes may become a convenient and effective agent against risk for atherogenesis.
