[yrlye1]

Pls advice since this is my first time, so genuine help required. Thanks !

Qn: inflammatory cells in the development of both cardiovascular disease and hypertension.

Maybe start with a basic definition of what CVD and HTN are?

Well, to start I'd suggest looking up the Aldosterone-Renin system. They both influence, together with middle hormones such as Angiotensin, to regulate Sodium excretion and resorption in the distal tube of the kidneys. Atrial Neutruedic factor also has an indirect influence by regulating the zona glomerulosa cells of the adrenal cortex. There is much more to say, but I am swamped with work (finals week next week). If you want more help, contact me in two weeks! Sorry wish I could be more helpful.

In case I wasn't clear, sodium balance has plenty to do with blood pressure and blood volume. I am not making any indication of inflammation, although it might have something to do with it.
