Plasma brain natriuretic peptide as a surrogate marker for cardioembolic stroke
BMC Neurology, 2008 Background Cardioembolic stroke generally results in more severe disability, since it typically has a larger ischemic area than the other types of ischemic stroke.

Physiological and Pathophysiological Effects of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide on the Heart
Biology, 2022 C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is the third member of the natriuretic peptide family. Unlike other members, i.e., atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), which are cardiac hormones secreted from the atrium and ventricle of

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Heart failure (HF) is a primary cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. As the most widely studied and commonly applied natriuretic peptide (NP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has the effects of diuresis, natriuresis, vasodilation, anti ...

Plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels are elevated in patients with cancer
PLoS ONE, 2017 Background Natriuretic peptides have been proposed as biomarkers of cardiovascular disease, especially heart failure. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) has also been shown to be upregulated at the transcriptional and translational levels by pro ...

Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Hypertension.
Hypertension Research, 1995 Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was first identified in the porcine brain and later isolated from porcine, rat, and human hearts. In humans, plasma BNP concentrations are progressively elevated with increasing severity of hypertension, particularly when left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is present.

Roles of Natriuretic Peptides and the Significance of Neprilysin in Cardiovascular Diseases
Biology, 2022 Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) activate the guanylyl cyclase A receptor (GC-A), which synthesizes the second messenger cGMP in a wide variety of tissues and cells.
