Abstract
High salt consumption contributes to the development of hypertension and is considered an independent risk factor for vascular remodeling, cardiac hypertrophy, and stroke incidence. In this review, we discuss the molecular origins of primary sensors involved in the phenomenon of salt sensitivity. Based on the analysis of literature data, we conclude that the kidneys and central nervous system (CNS) are two major sites for salt sensing via several distinct mechanisms: 1) [Cl(-)] sensing in renal tubular fluids, primarily by Na(+)-K(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC) isoforms NKCC2B and NKCC2A, whose expression is mainly limited to macula densa cells; 2) [Na(+)] sensing in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by a novel isoform of Na(+) channels, Na(x), expressed in subfornical organs; 3) sensing of CSF osmolality by mechanosensitive, nonselective cation channels (transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 channels), expressed in neuronal cells of supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei; and 4) osmolarity sensing by volume-regulated anion channels in glial cells of supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. Such multiplicity of salt-sensing mechanisms likely explains the differential effects of Na(+) and Cl(-) loading on the long-term maintenance of elevated blood pressure that is documented in experimental models of salt-sensitive hypertension.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
