Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Healthy overweight men aged between 20 and 70 years and overweight healthy post-menopausal women less than 70yrs will give a blood sample from which DNA will be extracted. The DNA will be used to screen for two genetic polymorphisms called CYP4F2 G1347A and CYP4A11 T8590C, using a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. These polymorphisms are known to affect 20-HETE levels. A group that are carriers of the A allele of the CYP4F2 G1347A polymophism but who do not have the CYP4A11 T8590C polymorphism and a control group that have neither polymorphism will be studied. Baseline salt intake will be assessed by 24 hr urine collections. A dietitian will counsel both groups to reduce their salt intake to ~ 50mmol/day for 6 weeks. After 3 weeks participants will be asked to take enteric coated sodium chloride tablets (Slow-Sodium) providing 100mmol/day sodium for 3 weeks.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Healthy overweight men with waist circumference greater than or equal to 102cm and overweight healthy postmenopausal women with a waist circumference greater than or equal to 88cm who have a systolic BP greater or equal to 120mmHg. Volunteers who fit the criteria be screened for two genetic polymorphisms called CYP4F2 G1347A and CYP4A11 T8590C that affect 20-HETE levels. Two groups will be studied. A group that are carriers of the A allele of the CYP4F2 G1347A polymophism but who do not have the CYP4A11 T8590C polymorphism and a control group that have neither polymorphism will be studied
