title: Effects of elements on blood pressure.
abstract: This article present a comprehensive review of all known elements involved in blood pressure control. Data source was by computerized literature searches. A total of 28 elements have been documented as being involved in blood pressure control. The individual elements react directly and indirectly in a variety of metabolic and structural activities known to participate in blood pressure regulation. Reports from both experimental animal and human subjects are presented. The role of certain elements in blood pressure control is controversial. Conversely, important established functions of dosage, absorption, storage, and excretion of individual elements are known and are described in relation to blood pressure control. Some elements are pressor, whereas others are depressor in action, and this article demonstrates the important role elements play in the control of blood pressure.
