Atrial natriuretic peptide [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia, 1989 This report has reviewed some of the cardiovascular aspects of ANP. The emergence of the heart as an endocrine organ requires that numerous questions be asked with regard to the importance of ANP to anesthesia and surgery. It is clear that the interaction of the hormone with other vasoactive compounds, including anesthetic agents, requires further ...

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.

Roles of Natriuretic Peptides and the Significance of Neprilysin in Cardiovascular Diseases
Biology, 2022 Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) activate the guanylyl cyclase A receptor (GC-A), which synthesizes the second messenger cGMP in a wide variety of tissues and cells.

Plasma brain natriuretic peptide as a surrogate marker for cardioembolic stroke
BMC Neurology, 2008 Background Cardioembolic stroke generally results in more severe disability, since it typically has a larger ischemic area than the other types of ischemic stroke.

Physiology and clinical significance of natriuretic hormones
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013 The natriuretic system consists of the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and four other similar peptides including the wrongly named brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Chemically they are small peptide hormones predominantly secreted by the cardiac myocytes

Cardiac Dysfunction in a Porcine Model of Pediatric Malnutrition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Half a million children die annually of severe acute malnutrition and cardiac dysfunction may contribute to the mortality. However, cardiac function remains poorly examined in cases of severe acute malnutrition.To determine malnutrition-induced ...

Natriuretic peptides: Diagnostic and therapeutic use
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2011 Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are hormones which are mainly secreted from heart and have important natriuretic and kaliuretic properties. There are four different groups NPs identified till date [atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (

Biology, 2022 The field of natriuretic peptides (NPs) as an endocrine hormone has been developing since 1979. There are three peptides in humans: atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), which bind to the guanylyl cyclase-A (GC-A ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide. [PDF]
The Netherlands journal of medicine, 1992 In the past several years great progress has been made in the understanding of the (patho) physiology of ANP. Because an inhibitor of ANP is not available for human use, there is still discussion about the physiological role of ANP. Nevertheless, from the studies described above the evidence is accumulating that ANP has a role in protecting against ...

AC-NP: a novel chimeric peptide with natriuretic and vasorelaxing actions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The aim of this study was to evaluate the cardiovascular and renal activities of a newly designed natriuretic peptide (NP). Here, we engineered a novel 28-amino acid chimeric peptide, termed AC-NP that combined the 17-amino acid ring of C type ...
