Heads and Tails of Natriuretic Peptides: Neuroprotective Role of Brain Natriuretic Peptide [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2017
Background Besides the relevant role of brain‐type natriuretic peptide ( BNP ) as biomarker of cardioembolic strokes, new experimental evidences suggest that this peptide may mediate neuroprotective effects.

Female-Specific Association of Plasma N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide With Organ Dysfunction and Prognosis in Sepsis: A Retrospective Study

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
Objectives:. The plasma level of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide is regulated by sex hormones. It has been controversial whether N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide is a prognosis marker for sepsis.

Plasma brain natriuretic peptide as a surrogate marker for cardioembolic stroke

BMC Neurology, 2008
Background Cardioembolic stroke generally results in more severe disability, since it typically has a larger ischemic area than the other types of ischemic stroke.

Physiological and Pathophysiological Effects of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide on the Heart

Biology, 2022
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is the third member of the natriuretic peptide family. Unlike other members, i.e., atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), which are cardiac hormones secreted from the atrium and ventricle of

Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Hypertension.

Hypertension Research, 1995
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was first identified in the porcine brain and later isolated from porcine, rat, and human hearts. In humans, plasma BNP concentrations are progressively elevated with increasing severity of hypertension, particularly when left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is present.

Brain natriuretic peptide-expressing sensory neurons are not involved in acute, inflammatory, or neuropathic pain

Molecular Pain, 2017
Background We recently demonstrated that brain natriuretic peptide is expressed in the dorsal root ganglia, and that brain natriuretic peptide is required for normal detection of pruritogens.

Roles of Natriuretic Peptides and the Significance of Neprilysin in Cardiovascular Diseases

Biology, 2022
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) activate the guanylyl cyclase A receptor (GC-A), which synthesizes the second messenger cGMP in a wide variety of tissues and cells.
