[Brain natriuretic peptide].

Rinsho byori. The Japanese journal of clinical pathology, 2004
Plasma levels of various neurohumoral factors are activated and have an important role of the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure (CHF). Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain (or B-type) natriuretic peptide (BNP) are secreted from cardiomyocytes in response to atrial or ventricular wall stretch.

Brain Type Natriuretic Peptide

Neonatal Network, 2008
BRAIN TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE, also called B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), has emerged as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic marker in the assessment of heart failure in adults.1–7 Serum BNP levels have also been shown to differentiate pulmonary from cardiac causes of dyspnea and to be useful as a screening tool for ventricular hypertrophy ...

Receptor selectivity of natriuretic peptide family, atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, and C-type natriuretic peptide

Endocrinology, 1992
To elucidate the ligand-receptor relationship of the natriuretic peptide system, which comprises at least three endogenous ligands, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and three receptors, the ANP-A receptor or guanylate cyclase-A (GC-A), the ANP-B receptor or guanylate cyclase-B (GC ...

Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Term Pregnancy

Reproductive Sciences, 2012
To determine the normal range of serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in uncomplicated, singleton term pregnant patients.Serum for analysis of BNP was drawn at admission to labor and delivery (= 104), prior to administration of intravenous fluid.Median BNP was 20 pg/mL, with an interquartile range of 20 pg/mL (range 5-70 pg/mL; or a mean ± standard ...

Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Cardiovascular Diseases

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2008
The natriuretic peptides are a family of related hormones that play an important role in the homeostasis of cardiovascular system. Serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide have recently emerged as a marker for the diagnosis, prognosis, follow-up, and therapy of patients with heart failure (HF) and other cardiovascular diseases.

[Brain natriuretic peptide].

Annali italiani di medicina interna : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di medicina interna, 1996
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac hormone with a spectrum of activities quite similar to those of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), including diuretic, natriuretic, hypotensive and smooth muscle relaxant activities. These effects are due to the stimulation of guanylate cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptors, leading to an increase in ...

Brain natriuretic peptide

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2014
To evaluate new development in the utility of brain natriuretic peptide and N-Terminal brain natriuretic peptide (BNP/NT-Pro-BNP) in the management of various cardiovascular diseases. The determination of plasma BNP levels has an established role in the discrimination of pulmonary oedema from other causes of acute dyspnoea, and there is increasing ...

Monoclonal antibody against brain natriuretic peptide and characterization of brain natriuretic peptide-transgenic mice

Journal of Hypertension, 2001
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a ventricular hormone with natriuretic, diuretic and vasodilatory actions. Acute infusion of BNP reduces cardiac pre- and after-load in healthy and diseased subjects, but its long-term therapeutic usefulness remains unclear.We prepared a monoclonal antibody specific to mouse BNP, and characterized transgenic mice ...

Plasma brain natriuretic peptide and C-type natriuretic peptide in essential hypertension

Journal of Hypertension, 1994
To study the relationship between hypertension and the plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and to determine whether the plasma levels of BNP and CNP are correlated.A cross-sectional study of the plasma levels of BNP and CNP in hypertensive patients and normotensive controls matched for age and sex was ...

C-type natriuretic peptide and atrial natriuretic peptide receptors of rat brain

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1993
Natriuretic peptide receptors in rat brain were mapped by in vitro autoradiography using 125I-labeled [Tyr0]CNP-(1-22) to bind atrial natriuretic peptide receptor (ANPR)-B and ANPR-C receptors selectively, and 125I-labeled alpha-ANP to select ANPR-A and ANPR-C receptors.
