Biological characterization of human brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and rat BNP: Species-specific actions of BNP

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1990
We examined the diuretic-natriuretic activities of rat BNP and human BNP in anesthetized rats in vivo and their vasorelaxant activities for rat thoracic aorta and porcine coronary artery in vitro. Rat BNP was almost equipotent to rat ANP in diuresis and natriuresis with relative potencies of 1.6 and 2.5, respectively, while human BNP exerted no ...

The clearance of BNP modeled using the NT-proBNP–BNP relationship

Biosystems, 2007
The ventricular myocardium simultaneously secretes two natriuretic peptides useful in the evaluation of heart failure: BNP, hormonally active, and NT-proBNP, the N-terminal end, non-hormonally active, but ultimately their concentrations differ and their clearance patterns are poorly defined.We measured NT-proBNP and BNP in patients with and without ...

Radioimmunoassay for brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) detection of BNP in canine brain

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1989
We established a highly sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) for BNP. Our RIA detected BNP-like immunoreactivity (-LI) in the porcine and canine brains but did not detect BNP-LI in the human, monkey or rat brain. The widespread distribution of BNP-LI was demonstrated both in the porcine and canine brains, with the highest concentration in the ...

Prognostic values of NTpro BNP/BNP ratio in comparison with NTpro BNP or BNP alone in elderly patients with chronic heart failure in a 2-year follow up

International Journal of Cardiology, 2012
Plasma BNP and NT-proBNP are often used as interchangeable parameters in heart failure care in clinical practice. In our previous study we have shown that inflammation was able to induce increased NT pro BNP in a hospital cohort with chronic heart failure in the elderly, indicating that NT-proBNP/BNP ratio should be evaluated concomitantly with ...

Hemodynamic responses to BNP in rats

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1989
Le peptide natriuretique cerebral (BNP) a ete recemment isole et c'est pour explorer plus profondement son activite que cette etude a ete entreprise. Elle consiste en l'etude comparee des activites sur l'hemodynamique de rats de BNP et ANP (peptide natriuretique atrial).

BNP or NTproBNP? A clinician's perspective

International Journal of Cardiology, 2008
Existing literature on two natriuretic peptides--B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and amino terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP)--is overwhelming. Both peptides are acknowledged markers for cardiac dysfunction. Most of the sources present data on either BNP or NTproBNP making the comparison difficult.

Practical Considerations for BNP Use

Heart Failure Reviews, 2003
The evolving paradigm of heart failure has now been expanded to include the favorable neurohormonal, structural and hemodynamic profile of B-type natriuretic peptide [BNP]. As a marker of left ventricular dysfunction, BNP is a practical tool that facilitates diagnosis, contributes to prognostic evaluations and tracks disease severity.

On Certain Betrayals to the BNP
