The Heart and the Atrial Natriuretic Factor*

Endocrine Reviews, 1985
The search for natriuretic hormones or factors by studies of negative pressure breathing, atrial distension experiments, head-out water immersion, expansion of blood volume, Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitors and parabiosis experiments in Dahl rats has led to the finding that the atria are a peptide-secreting endocrine gland. This new natriuretic hormone has now

Atrial natriuretic factor

Life Sciences, 1985
Mammalian atria contain different peptides with potent diuretic, natriuretic, smooth muscle relaxing and blood pressure lowering properties. A preprohormone of these peptides is synthetized and stored in specific granules in atrial myocytes. Different peptides have been isolated, analyzed and in vitro synthetized.

The Atrial Natriuretic Factor in Hypertension

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1988
Plasma immunoreactive atrial natriuretic factor (IR-ANF) concentration measured by radioimmunoassay after extraction on Sep-Pak cartridges was studied in 64 control normotensive subjects, 25 patients with labile essential hypertension, 67 patients with mild essential hypertension (diastolic pressure between 90 and 105 mm Hg and no left ventricular ...

Atrial natriuretic factor: a hormone produced by the heart.

Science, 1985
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 polypeptide hormone.

Physiological role of silent receptors of atrial natriuretic factor.

Science, 1987
A ring-deleted analog of atrial natriuretic factor--des[Gln18, Ser19, Gly20, Leu21, Gly22] ANF4-23-NH2 (C-ANF4-23)--binds with high affinity to approximately 99% of ANF receptors in the isolated perfused rat kidney.
