blood pressure, cardiovascular system, and kidney. Aim of work: To assess the effects of the high salt 
diet (HSD) on adult male albino rats' bone. Materials and methods: twenty-four adult male albino 
rats were divided into two groups: Control group and HSD-fed group. Results: Administration of 
HSD (8 %) for seven weeks to male rats resulted in increased food intake, decreased body weight 
gain, and BMI, as well as osteoporosis. There was increase in all bone resorption parameters and 
decrease in bone formation parameters. Conclusion: Accordingly, the results obtained from the
