The data reviewed establish the presence and important role in body fluid homeostasis of
brain atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in all vertebrate-species examined. The peptide is …

Mammals have evolved sophisticated behavioral and physiological responses to oppose
changes in the osmolality of their extracellular fluid. The behavioral approach consists of …

The natriuretic peptide system consists of three endogenous ligands, ie, atrial natriuretic
peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and at …

The expression of the natriuretic peptide clearance receptor is abundant in human and rat
adipose tissue, where it is specifically inhibited by fasting. In obese hypertensives, plasma …

Atria1 natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a recently discovered hormone secreted primarily by
atria1 myocytes in response to local wall stretch (ie, increased intravascular volume). The …

Aim: In this review, we will focus on the central neural mechanisms that couple osmotic
perturbations to changes in sympathetic nerve discharge, and the possible impact these …

Atrial natriuretic factors (ANFs), produced in myocytes of mammalian atria, exert potent
natriuretic and diuretic actions in the kidney as well as a variety of other actions coordinated …

Cardiac natriuretic peptides contribute importantly to the maintenance of sodium and volume
homeostasis in health and disease. The hemodynamic, renal, and endocrinologic effects of …

The natriuretic peptide system includes three known peptides: atrial natriuretic peptide
(ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). They contribute …
