Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The heart serves as an endocrine organ producing the hormones atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) which via the guanylyl cyclase A (GC-A) receptor and the second messenger cGMP participate in blood pressure homeostasis ...

Nature Biotechnology, 1988 Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) stimulates vasodilation, fluid egress, increased glomerular filtration and salt and water excretion, and blocks the release and/or actions of several hormones, including angiotensin II, aldosterone and vasopressin. ANP levels are commonly elevated in situations of excessive fluid volume or hypertension, and the hormone ...

The Value of Biomarkers in the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Heart Failure in Older Age
Архивъ внутренней медицины, 2021 The search for reliable algorithms for diagnosing heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in elderly patients is an urgent problem due to the low specificity of clinical manifestations and the peculiarities of involutive ...

The Effects of Exercise on Natriuretic Peptides in Individuals without Heart Failure
Sports, 2016 Cardiac natriuretic peptides (NPs) play an important role in the regulation of energy expenditure in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. A systematic review on the effects of exercise on NPs in patients with heart failure reported that aerobic and ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide and feeding activity patterns in rats
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997 This review presents historical data about atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) from its discovery as an atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) to its role as an atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH).

Natriuretic peptides and atrial fibrillation.
European review for medical and pharmacological sciences, 2010 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the medical practice, it is associated with an increased total and cardiovascular mortality, as well as cardiovascular morbidity, including stroke and heart failure. AF is encountered in different medical specialties including cardiology, family medicine and emergency medicine as well. Treatment
