The Impact of Natriuretic Peptides on Heart Development, Homeostasis, and Disease
CellsDuring mammalian heart development, the clustered genes encoding peptide hormones, Natriuretic Peptide A (NPPA; ANP) and B (NPPB; BNP), are transcriptionally co-regulated and co-expressed predominately in the atrial and ventricular trabecular ...

Natriuretic peptides as emerging biomarkers for coronary artery disease risk assessment
Asian Journal of Medical SciencesThe identification of novel biomarkers for coronary artery disease (CAD) risk stratification remains a critical priority in cardiovascular medicine. While natriuretic peptides – specifically atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide
