Thirty years ago, De Bold et al. reported that atrial extracts contain some biologically active
peptides, which promote a rapid and massive diuresis and natriuresis when injected in rats …

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 …

We examined the binding characteristics of the two endogenous forms of C-type natriuretic
peptide (CNP-22 and CNP-53) and their effects on cyclic GMP (cGMP) accumulation in …

Endothelin (ET) effected a dose-dependent increment in atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
secretion and ANP mRNA accumulation in neonatal rat atrial and ventricular cardiocytes but …

We have compared the effects of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide
(BMP), and C‐type natriuretic peptide (CNP) on the accumulation of cyclic GMP (cGMP) in …

A radioimmunoassay (RIA) to measure C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) of a dogfish, Triakis
scyllia, was established, and plasma and tissue levels of CNP were measured. Molecular …

In the present study, the effects of glucocorticoids and forskolin, an activator of adenylate
cyclase, were examined on neurotensin (NT) production from rat hypothalamic neurons in …

Several peptide hormones that are produced in various organs are secreted into the
circulation where they act to regulate vasomotor tone and sodium and water balance (l-4) …

Physiologists have long suspected that the cardiac atria play an important role in the
regulation of intravascular volume and blood pressure. The first suggestive evidence that …

Los péptidos natriuréticos son hormonas cardíacas cuyas funciones fundamentales
conocidas, son favorecer el incremento de la diuresis, natriuresis y la vasodilatación. Desde …
