The natriuretic peptides (NPs) family, including atrial, B-type, and C-type NPs, is a group of
hormones possessing relevant haemodynamic and anti-remodelling actions in the …

As a family of hormones with pleiotropic effects, natriuretic peptide (NP) system includes
atrial NP (ANP), B-type NP (BNP), C-type NP (CNP), dendroaspis NP and urodilatin, with NP …

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a cardiac hormone belonging to the family of natriuretic
peptides (NPs). ANP exerts diuretic, natriuretic, and vasodilatory effects that contribute to …

The natriuretic peptide (NP) system is an important endocrine, autocrine and paracrine
system, consisting of a family of peptides which provide cardiac, renal and vascular effects …

Among the three natriuretic peptides, atrial/A-type natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain/B-type
natriuretic peptide (BNP) are primarily produced by, and secreted from, heart tissue. They …

Natriuretic peptides are cardiac-derived hormones with a range of protective functions,
including natriuresis, diuresis, vasodilation, lusitropy, lipolysis, weight loss, and improved …

Besides pumping, the heart participates in hydro-sodium homeostasis and systemic blood
pressure regulation through its endocrine function mainly represented by the large family of …

Previous studies suggested a beneficial effect of natriuretic peptides in animal models of
cardiovascular disease, but the role of natriuretic peptide receptor C (NPRC) in the …

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) a cardiovascular hormone mainly secreted by heart atria in
response to stretching forces induces potent diuretic, natriuretic and vasorelaxant effects …

Natriuretic peptides (NPs) exert well-characterized protective effects on the cardiovascular
system, such as vasorelaxation, natri-and diuresis, increase of endothelial permeability, and …
