One treatment for high blood pressure is taking diuretics that prevent the kidney collecting ducts from reabsorbing water. How would diuretics reduce blood pressure?
Sri K.
Select the best answer Can changing diet reduce high blood pressure? Vegetarian diets and low-salt diets are both promising. Men with high blood pressure are assigned at random to four diets: (1) normal diet with unrestricted salt; (2) vegetarian with unrestricted salt; (3) normal with restricted salt; and (4) vegetarian with restricted salt. This experiment has (a) one factor, the type of diet. (b) two factors, high blood pressure and type of diet. (c) two factors, normal/vegetarian diet and unrestricted/restricted salt. (d) three factors, men, high blood pressure, and type of diet. (e) four factors, the four diets being compared.
