Natriuretic peptide receptors on rat thymocytes: Inhibition of proliferation by atrial natriuretic peptide. [PDF]
Because the thymus expresses the natriuretic peptides (NP) as well as their respective receptors, an involvement of NP in the physiology of this organ has been suggested.

Natriuretic Peptides in the Cardiovascular System. Multifaceted Roles in Physiology, Pathology and Therapeutics [PDF]
The natriuretic peptides (NPs) family includes a class of hormones and their receptors needed for the physiological control of cardiovascular functions. The discovery of NPs provided a fundamental contribution into our understanding of the physiological ...

Brain natriuretic peptide: Diagnostic potential in dogs [PDF]
The endocrine role of the heart is evident in the secretion of noradrenaline and natriuretic peptides. The secretion of natriuretic peptides presents a useful mechanism for different conditions of cardiac dysfunction.

A Multi-marker Model for Predicting Decompensated Heart Failure in Patients with Prior Acute Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
The aim of the study was to assess the prognostic value of determining the plasma concentration of NT-proBNP and ST2 in the patients with decompensated HF and prior acute myocardial infarction and their combination in this category of patients.Materials ...

The level of NT-proBNP in ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction of the left ventricle [PDF]
The prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) remains high. Echocardiography is a reliable method of diagnosing heart failure. Determination of brain natriuretic peptide allows to identify patients with the most probable diagnosis of heart failure, which

NH2-Terminal Pro–Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Risk of Diabetes
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) has an established role in cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, recent animal studies suggest direct metabolic effects of BNP.

Brain natriuretic peptide is cosecreted with atrial natriuretic peptide from porcine cardiocytes [PDF]
Using primary cultures of atrial cardiocytes from neonatal pig, the secretion of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)‐like immunoreactivities (LI) was studied in vitro. Porcine cardiocytes time‐dependently secreted both BNP‐LI and ANP‐LI into medium under a serum‐free condition, although the amount of BNP‐LI secreted was
