Mechanisms of Action of Atrial Natriuretic Factor and C-Type Natriuretic Peptide

Hypertension, 1996
Abstract After secretion by the heart, atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) circulates in plasma, whereas C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), which is found in abundance in the endothelium, may regulate vascular tone in a paracrine manner. However, there is little information on the effect of CNP on renal microvessels. We hypothesized

C-type natriuretic peptide: a link between hyperandrogenism and anovulation in a mouse model of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Clinical science, 2018
The polycystic ovary (PCO) syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility in women and is associated with several clinical disorders.

C-type Natriuretic Peptide: An Important Neuroendocrine Regulator?

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2000
In the decade since its discovery, C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), the third member of the natriuretic peptide family, has been shown to be produced by most of the major endocrine glands, including the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary. The relative abundance of its guanylyl cyclase-containing GC-B receptor in these glands suggests that CNP might ...

Cardiovascular and renal actions of C-type natriuretic peptide

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1992
Studies were performed in two groups of anesthetized dogs (n = 5 per group) to determine the cardiovascular and renal actions of synthetic C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). Systemic infusion of CNP (group 1; 10 and 50 ng.kg-1.min-1 iv) resulted in marked cardiovascular hemodynamic effects characterized by a decrease in mean arterial pressure, cardiac ...

C-type natriuretic peptide system in rabbit colon

Peptides, 2001
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is mainly distributed in the brain and vascular endothelium and is considered to act as a local regulator in many tissues. The present study was aimed to determine the presence of CNP system and its biological function in rabbit colon.

Mechanism of relaxations to C-type natriuretic peptide in veins

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1996
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is an endothelium-derived peptide that shares structural homology with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). CNP causes greater endothelium-independent relaxations in veins compared with arteries. Relaxations to CNP in porcine coronary arteries are mediated by hyperpolarization of the smooth muscle membrane.

C-TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE (CNP) IN RATS AND HUMANS

Endocrinology, 1991
We have established a specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) for C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), the third member of the natriuretic peptide family, and have elucidated its tissue distribution and molecular form. In rats, high concentrations of CNP-like immunoreactivity (-LI) were detected in the anterior lobe (19.8 +/- 8.6 pmol/g) and neurointermediate ...

C-Type natriuretic peptide maintains domestic cat oocytes in meiotic arrest.

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2016
Recent studies have shown that C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP; encoded by the natriuretic peptide C (NPPC) gene) plays an essential role in maintaining meiotic arrest of mouse and porcine oocytes.

C-type natriuretic peptide system in rabbit oviduct

Peptides, 2001
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), a third member of the natriuretic peptide family, is known to be distributed mainly in brain and vascular endothelium and is considered to act as a local regulator in many tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of CNP system and its biological function in rabbit oviduct.

C-type natriuretic peptide in vascular physiology and disease

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2005
Natriuretic peptides play a critical role in coordination of fluid/electrolyte balance and vascular tone. The renal effects of circulating atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are distinct from the paracrine effects of vascular C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP).
