Journal ArticleDOI
Adrenergic effects on plasma lipoprotein metabolism: Speculation on mechanisms of action
Frank M. Sacks,Victor J. Dzau +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence from diverse lines of research has been brought together that suggests that dietary carbohydrate and fat might modulate adrenergic influences on lipoprotein metabolism by other than classic means.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laura P. Svetkey,Denise G. Simons-Morton,Michael A. Proschan,Frank M. Sacks,Paul R. Conlin,David W. Harsha,Thomas J. Moore +6 more
TL;DR: Both the DASH diet and reduced sodium intake improved BP control and BP became normal or optimal in 71% of people consuming the control/lower sodium diet and 77% of persons consuming the Dash/lower Sodium diet.
