Elevated C-type natriuretic peptide elicits exercise preconditioning-induced cardioprotection against myocardial injury probably via the up-regulation of NPR-B

open access: yesJournal of Physiological Sciences, 2016
To evaluate exercise preconditioning (EP)-induced cardioprotective effects against exercise-induced acute myocardial injury and investigate the alterations of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and its specific receptor, natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-

NT -pro BNP as a Mediator of the Racial Difference in Incident Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background Blacks harbor more cardiovascular risk factors than whites, but experience less atrial fibrillation ( AF ). Conversely, whites may have a lower risk of heart failure ( CHF ).

Brain natriuretic peptide and NT-proBNP levels reflect pulmonary artery systolic pressure in trekkers at high altitude. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Our objective was to evaluate the utility of the natriuretic peptides BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) and NT-proBNP as markers of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) in trekkers ascending to high altitude (HA). 20 participants had BNP and NT-proBNP

The role of atrial natriuretic peptide to attenuate inflammation in a mouse skin wound and individually perfused rat mesenteric microvessels. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We tested the hypothesis that the anti-inflammatory actions of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) result from the modulation of leukocyte adhesion to inflamed endothelium and not solely ANP ligation of endothelial receptors to stabilize endothelial barrier

BIOCHEMICAL AND GENETIC ASPECTS OF THE CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE AND ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION COMBINATION

open access: yesКубанский научный медицинский вестник, 2014
The content of endothelium-1 and C-type natriuretic peptide in the blood plasma in correlation with the gene polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase was studied in 35 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), 35 patients with ...

Cenderitide-eluting film for potential cardiac patch applications.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Cenderitide, also known as CD-NP, is a designer peptide developed by combining native mammalian c-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and the C-terminus isolated from the dendroapis natriuretic peptide (DNP) of the venom from the green mamba. In early studies,

Activin A–Activated ALK4 Induces Pathogenic Th17‐Involved Endothelial–Mesenchymal Transition in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus–Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), are associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition that can lead to heart failure. However, whether T cells also contribute to the occurrence of PAH in SLE has not been clarified.
