Natriuretic peptides are a family of structurally related but genetically distinct
hormones/paracrine factors that regulate blood volume, blood pressure, ventricular …

Abstract Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists exert antihypertensive actions
through incompletely understood mechanisms. Here we demonstrate that cardiac Glp1r …

Systematic studies on the significance of the secretory-like morphological characteristic of
cardiac atrial muscle cells of mammals led to the finding that these cells produce a …

Although cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP)'was first described in biological
samplesmore than two decades ago, its role in some physiological processes has only …

ATRIAL natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a polypeptide hormone whose effects include the
induction of diuresis, natriuresis and vasorelaxation1. One of the earliest events following …

A ring-deleted analog of atrial natriuretic factor—des [Gln18, Ser19, Gly20, Leu21, Gly22]

Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass can be associated with vasodilatory hypotension
requiring pressor support. We have previously found arginine vasopressin to be a …

This paper describes the purification, sequence, and biological properties of a 38-amino
acid residue peptide from the venom of Dendroaspis angusticeps which shared important …

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is an important regulator of arterial blood pressure. The
mechanisms mediating its hypotensive effects are complex and involve the inhibition of the …
