Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Salt Taste Receptor Genes With Dietary Salt Intake and Blood Pressure Among Iranian Adults Population

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Objectives

So far, few researches has examined how genetic variation in salt taste receptors affects food intake in Iranian population. Thus, in this study, we aimed to investigate associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in salt taste receptors genes with dietary salt intake and blood pressure.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was carried out among 116 randomly selected adults aged 18 years and over in Isfahan city, Iran. Subjects with diabetes insipidus, renal insufficiency, a special dietary regimen, fasting or menstruating on the day of sampling, using diuretics and oral contraceptives or pregnant and lactating women as well as participants who had incomplete 24-h urine collection were excluded. A 24-h urine collection and blood pressure measu
