A high-salt diet may not only increase blood pressure, but also contribute to liver damage in adults and developing embryos, a new research.

"This study demonstrates that high salt exposure in mice (four percent sodium chloride or NaCl in drinking water) and chick embryo could lead to derangement of the hepatic cords and liver fibrosis," the researchers said.

The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

The researchers gave adult mice a high-salt diet and exposed chick embryos to a briny environment. Excessive sodium was associated with a number of changes in the animals' livers, including oddly shaped cells, an increase in cell death and a decrease in cell proliferation, which can contribute to the development of fibrosis. On a positive note, the researchers did find that treating damaged cells with vitamin C appeared to partially counter the ill effects of excess salt.

Researchers also recommends a small amount of salt one teaspoon per day if you are an healthy adult.
