Atrial Natriuretic Peptide

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1986
Publisher Summary The natriuretic peptide system consists of three peptides with similar structures. These peptides cause a wide range of actions in the kidney, the vasculature, the heart, and the central nervous system. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has subsequently been the subject of extensive investigation.

Atrial natriuretic peptide and related peptides

Clinical Chemical Laboratory Medicine, 2007
AbstractIn recent years, biomarkers have been recognized as important tools for diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapeutic decision-making in cardiovascular diseases. Currently, the clinical potential of several natriuretic peptides is under scientific investigation.

Atrial natriuretic peptide stability

Clinical Biochemistry, 2008
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a key regulator in the homeostasis of water excretion and has emerged as an important prognostic marker for symptomatic chronic heart failure (CHF). The stability of ANP represents a crucial factor in assessing its use as a cardiac biomarker.

Release of atrial natriuretic peptide by atrial distension [PDF]

open access: possibleCanadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 1985
A heterologous radioimmunoassay was used to measure the concentration of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic peptide (iANP) in plasma from the femoral artery of eight chloralose anaesthetized dogs. Mitral obstruction which increased left atrial pressure by 11 cmH2O increased plasma iANP from 97 ± 10.3 (mean ± SE) to 135 ± 14.3 pg/mL.

Are the atrial peptides a natriuretic hormone?

European Heart Journal, 1987
The control of sodium balance plays a vital role in the regulation of both intravascular and extravascular fluid volume. The discovery and synthesis of the atrial natriuretic peptides has led to the suggestion that they may be an important hormone in the control of sodium and water balance.

Atrial natriuretic peptide and oxidative stress

Peptides, 2010
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a hormone, produced mainly by cardiomyocytes, with a major role in cardiovascular homeostatic mechanisms such as natriuresis and vasodilation, which serve to regulate blood pressure. However, ANP also acts as an autocrine/paracrine factor on other targets such as kidney, lung, thymus, liver and the immune system. ANP

Platelet aggregation and atrial natriuretic peptide

General Pharmacology: The Vascular System, 1995
1. Isolated human platelets were used to investigate the effect of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on in vitro platelet aggregation induced by epinephrine, ADP, collagen and 5-hydroxytryptamine. As a direct stimulant of particulate guanylate cyclase, ANP is known to have no direct effect on platelets which contain soluble guanylate cyclase. 2.

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in Dumping Syndrome

Digestion, 1993
The significance of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) was investigated in the maintenance of the fluid volume in hypovolemia associated with dumping syndrome following gastric resection. The study was performed on 10 patients with Billroth II procedure. Ten age and sex matched patients--without previous gastric surgery served as controls.

Atrial natriuretic peptide in hypoxia

Peptides, 2005
A growing number of mammalian genes whose expression is inducible by hypoxia have been identified. Among them, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) synthesis and secretion is increased during hypoxic exposure and plays an important role in the normal adaptation to hypoxia and in the pathogenesis of cardiopulmonary diseases, including chronic hypoxia ...

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in Renal Transplantation [PDF]

open access: possibleHormone Research, 1996
Factors related to atrial natriuretic peptide (alpha-ANP) regulation and its potential impact on excretory transplant function were examined in a prospective cohort study of 20 patients with end-stage renal disease over 21 days after allogenic kidney transplantation.
