Physiological and Pathophysiological Effects of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide on the Heart
Biology, 2022 C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is the third member of the natriuretic peptide family. Unlike other members, i.e., atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), which are cardiac hormones secreted from the atrium and ventricle of

Role of the liver in splanchnic extraction of atrial natriuretic factor in the rat [PDF]
, 1992 Mesenteric, hepatic and splanchnic extraction of C-terminal and N-terminal atrial natriuretic factor was investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Plasma concentrations (mean ± S.E.M.) of C-terminal atrial natriuretic factor were 55.0 ± 6.1 fmol/ml, 31.2

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.

Natriuretic peptide receptors on rat thymocytes: Inhibition of proliferation by atrial natriuretic peptide. [PDF]
, 1996 Because the thymus expresses the natriuretic peptides (NP) as well as their respective receptors, an involvement of NP in the physiology of this organ has been suggested.

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.

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Protects against Histamine-Induced Endothelial Barrier Dysfunction in Vivo [PDF]
, 2008 Endothelial barrier dysfunction is a hallmark of many severe pathologies, including sepsis or atherosclerosis. The cardiovascular hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has increasingly been suggested to counteract endothelial leakage.

Altered density of glomerular binding sites for atrial natriuretic factor in bile duct-ligated rats with ascites [PDF]
, 1991 The renal response to atrial natriuretic factor is blunted in cirrhosis with ascites. This might be due to alterations of renal receptors for atrial natriuretic factor.

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

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and renin-aldosterone in volume regulation of patients with cirrhosis [PDF]
, 1989 The role of the atrial natriuretic factor and of the main counteracting sodium-retaining principle, the renin-aldosterone system, in acute volume regulation of cirrhosis of the liver has been investigated.
