Brain Natriuretic Peptide Production and Secretion in Inflammation

Journal of Transplantation, 2012
Gene expression and secretion of the cardiac polypeptide hormones atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are simultaneously upregulated in various cardiac disorders such as congestive heart failure, ischemic heart disease ...

Prognostic value of brain natriuretic peptide in acute pulmonary embolism

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014
Background: Plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) correlate closely with the pressure and mural tension of the right ventricle and with pulmonary arterial pressure. The relationship between brain natriuretic peptide increase in acute pulmonary

Serum cardiac troponins and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide: a staging system for primary systemic amyloidosis.

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2004
PURPOSE Primary systemic amyloidosis (AL) is a multisystemic disorder resulting from an underlying plasma cell dyscrasia. There is no formal staging system for AL, making comparisons between studies and treatment centers difficult.

Discrimination and Quantification of Glomerular Receptor Subtypes for Atrial Natriuretic Factor (Anf) [PDF]

, 1991
Binding sites for atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) were determined on isolated rat glomeruli as well as on glomerular membranes. To define optimal conditions, binding of ANF was investigated varying incubation time, temperature and protein concentration ...

Relevance of Molecular Forms of Brain Natriuretic Peptide for Natriuretic Peptide Research [PDF]

Hypertension, 2007
The focus on brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) as a biomarker, the elevation of which is associated with adverse outcomes in persons with heart failure, has obscured recognition of the myriad beneficial and compensatory biological actions provided by this small peptide hormone. Both atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes synthesize and release both atrial
