High-Salt Diet Impairs the Neurons Plasticity and the Neurotransmitters-Related Biological Processes

Salt, commonly known as sodium chloride, is an important ingredient that the body requires in relatively minute quantities. However, consuming too much salt can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease and even disruption of circadian rhythms. The biological process of the circadian rhythm was fir...
