It appears to be more potent in salt-sensitive hypertension.[2]

Mechanism

It can inhibit protein kinase C.[3]

gollark: BUT those things would incur a bunch of cost - either financial or time - and I don't need high uptime enough to pay that.
gollark: As an example, osmarks.tk isn't up all the time. This is probably because it runs off my home internet connection and such, and partly because I do server migrations in ways which leave services down a bit. If I actually *needed* more than the current ~99% (okay I'm wildly guessing) uptime, there are many ways I could improve it.
gollark: You *want* 24/7 uptime, but trying to squeeze out increasingly high uptime means increasingly high costs.
gollark: Again, you brought up the "definition" first.
gollark: YOu brought it up first.
