Increased salt exposure affects both lymphoid and myeloid effector functions, influencing innate-associated disease but not T cell-associated autoimmunity.

However, the effects of high salt intake in vivo seem less pronounced in terms of CD4+ T cell responses, whereas macrophage-dependent pathologies are significantly influenced.
