Biphasic in vitro maturation with C-type natriuretic peptide enhances the developmental competence of juvenile-goat oocytes

PLoS ONE, 2019
In vitro embryo production success in juvenile animals is compromised due to their intrinsic lower oocyte quality. Conventional in vitro maturation (IVM) impairs oocyte competence by inducing spontaneous meiotic resumption.

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 ...

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 ...

Measurement of Pro-C-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Plasma [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2005
Accurate measurement of peptides derived from pro-C-type natriuretic peptide (proCNP) in human plasma has been difficult for several reasons. Low plasma concentrations necessitate high assay sensitivity. In addition, sufficient specificity can be difficult because of the close sequence homology of CNP with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type ...

Adipocyte-specific expression of C-type natriuretic peptide suppresses lipid metabolism and adipocyte hypertrophy in adipose tissues in mice fed high-fat diet

Scientific Reports, 2018
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is expressed in diverse tissues, including adipose and endothelium, and exerts its effects by binding to and activating its receptor, guanylyl cyclase B. Natriuretic peptides regulate intracellular cGMP and phosphorylated

N-Terminal Pro–B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in the Emergency Department: The ICON-RELOADED Study [PDF]

, 2018
Background Contemporary reconsideration of diagnostic N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) cutoffs for diagnosis of heart failure (HF) is needed.

NPs/NPRs Signaling Pathways May Be Involved in Depression-Induced Loss of Gastric ICC by Decreasing the Production of mSCF. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
It is well known that natriuretic peptides (NPs) are involved in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are the pacemaker cells of gastrointestinal motility and gastrointestinal dyskinesia is one of the important ...

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.
