From: Dietary Sodium Suppresses Digestive Efficiency via the Renin-Angiotensin System
(A) Major biological and behavioral contributors to energy balance. Dietary sodium prevents weight gain during high-fat feeding specifically through suppression of digestive efficiency, without effect on food intake, resting metabolic processes, or physical activity. (B) Hypothesized mechanism by which dietary sodium modulates digestive efficiency and subsequently weight gain, through suppression of the circulating RAS and thereby AT2 receptor activation.
