Transcription of brain natriuretic peptide and atrial natriuretic peptide genes in human tissues. [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1994 We have compared the expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) genes in various human tissues using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction technique. Tissues of three human subjects, obtained at autopsy, were analyzed.

Biochemical Journal, 2001 Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) exert their physiological actions by binding to natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPRA), a receptor guanylate cyclase (rGC) that synthesizes cGMP in response to both ligands. The family of rGCs is rapidly expanding, and it is plausible that there might be additional, as yet undiscovered,

Natriuretic peptide receptors on rat thymocytes: Inhibition of proliferation by atrial natriuretic peptide. [PDF]
, 1996 Because the thymus expresses the natriuretic peptides (NP) as well as their respective receptors, an involvement of NP in the physiology of this organ has been suggested.

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.

The interpretation of brain natriuretic peptide in critical care patients; will it ever be useful? [PDF]
, 2010 The measurement of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is recommended for the diagnosis of decompensated heart failure, the prognosis of chronic heart failure is worse if BNP is increased and studies suggest that BNP is useful to guide therapy.

Plasma N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide as Prognostic Marker in Fatal Cardial Decompensation with Sunitinib Malate Therapy [PDF]
, 2010 A 74-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma and a history of cardiac failure was treated with sunitinib malate. MUGA echocardiography could not detect a relevant change in the ejection fraction although the clinical situation of the patient ...

Association of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide with cognitive function and depression in elderly people with type 2 diabetes [PDF]
, 2012 <p>Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with risk of congestive heart failure (CHF), cognitive dysfunction and depression. CHF itself is linked both to poor cognition and depression.

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.
