New investigation results, 'Dietary sodium manipulation during critical periods in development sensitize adult offspring to amphetamines,' are detailed in a study published in American Journal of Physiology - Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology. "This study examined critical periods in development to determine when offspring were most susceptible to dietary sodium manipulation leading to amphetamine sensitization. Wistar dams (n=6-8/group) were fed chow containing low (0.12% NaCl; LN), normal (1% NaCl; NN), or high sodium (4% NaCl; HN) during the prenatal or early postnatal period (birth to 5 wk)," scientists writing in the American Journal of Physiology - ...
