Natriuretic peptides and integrated risk assessment for cardiovascular disease. an individual-participant-data meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Guidelines for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases focus on prediction of coronary heart disease and stroke. We assessed whether or not measurement of N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration could enable ...

C2238/αANP modulates apolipoprotein E through Egr-1/miR199a in vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro [PDF]

, 2015
Subjects carrying the T2238C ANP gene variant have a higher risk to suffer a stroke or myocardial infarction. The mechanisms through which T2238C/αANP exerts detrimental vascular effects need to be fully clarified.

Atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide and c‐type natriuretic peptide: effects on testicular microcirculation and immunohistochemical localization [PDF]

International Journal of Andrology, 1997
The effect of local injection of atrial (ANP), brain (BNP) and C‐type (CNP) natriuretic peptides and an ANP antagonist (HS‐142–1) on testicular microcirculation and vasomotion was studied using laser Doppler flowmetry. The natriuretic peptides were also localized immunohistochemically within the testis.ANP, BNP‐32, CNP‐22 and CNP‐53 all caused a dose ...

Role of C-type natriuretic peptide in the function of normal human sperm

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2016
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a newly discovered type of local regulatory factor that mediates its biological effects through the specific, membrane-bound natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B).

C-type natriuretic peptide stimulates chicken myoblast differentiation through NPRB/NPRC receptors and metabolism pathway

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022
Skeletal muscle development is closely related with the amount of meat production and its quality in chickens. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) play an important role in myotube formation and fat oxidation of skeletal muscle in animals.

A Multi-marker Model for Predicting Decompensated Heart Failure in Patients with Prior Acute Myocardial Infarction [PDF]

, 2020
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 ...

C-type natriuretic peptide: A new cardiac mediator [PDF]

Peptides, 2013
Natriuretic peptides are endogenous hormones released by the heart in response to myocardial stretch and overload. While atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP) were immediately considered cardiac hormones and their role was well-characterized and defined in predicting risk in cardiovascular disease, evidence indicating the role of C-type ...

Natriuretic Peptides, Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers [PDF]

, 2010
In humans, the natriuretic peptide family consists of three different types of peptides: atrial natriuretic peptide (synonym: atrial natriuretic factor), B-type natriuretic peptide (synonym: brain natriuretic peptide) and C-natriuretic peptide.1 ...

Regulated Inositol‐Requiring Protein 1‐Dependent Decay as a Mechanism of Corin RNA and Protein Deficiency in Advanced Human Systolic Heart Failure [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: The compensatory actions of the endogenous natriuretic peptide system require adequate processing of natriuretic peptide pro‐hormones into biologically active, carboxyl‐terminal fragments.

Natriuretic Peptide Receptor-C Protects Against Angiotensin II-Mediated Sinoatrial Node Disease in Mice

JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2018
Summary: Sinoatrial node (SAN) disease mechanisms are poorly understood, and therapeutic options are limited. Natriuretic peptide(s) (NP) are cardioprotective hormones whose effects can be mediated partly by the NP receptor C (NPR-C). We investigated the
