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 ...

Transcription of brain natriuretic peptide and atrial natriuretic peptide genes in human tissues [PDF]
, 1994 We have compared the expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) genes in various human tissues using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction technique.

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 ...

Molecular Mechanism of Blood Pressure Regulation through the Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
Biology, 2022 Natriuretic peptides, including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), have cardioprotective effects and regulate blood pressure in mammals.
