Effect of high-salt diet on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease activity. Plasma levels of dsDNA autoantibodies (Units/ml × 1,000) were significantly increased in SLE animals compared with controls (n = 12–18). High-salt diet did not significantly affect autoantibody production in control or SLE animals. *P < 0.05 vs. corresponding control.
