Lowering and increasing sodium intake in pregnant rats evoke opposite changes in renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) activity and are associated with alterations of blood volume expansion. As augmented uterine blood flow during gestation is linked to increased circulatory volume, we wanted t...
