The Claim
Seven days of euglycemic hyperinsulinemia does not increase sodium retention in conscious normal rats, with sodium balance remaining constant at 0.34 +/- 0.09 mmol throughout the infusion period.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When researchers kept insulin levels high but blood sugar normal in rats for a week, the rats' bodies didn't hold onto more sodium than usual - their sodium levels stayed steady at about 0.34 mmol.

Seven days of euglycemic hyperinsulinemia does not increase sodium retention in conscious normal rats, with sodium balance remaining constant at 0.34 +/- 0.09 mmol throughout the infusion period.
What the research says
1 studyThe study gave rats insulin for 7 days while keeping their blood sugar normal, then measured how much sodium they retained. The results showed their sodium balance stayed exactly at 0.34 mmol the whole time - just like the claim says. The study confirms the claim is true.
