Dexamethasone stimulates expression of C-type Natriuretic Peptide in chondrocytes [PDF]
Background Growth of endochondral bones is regulated through the activity of cartilaginous growth plates. Disruption of the physiological patterns of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation – such as in endocrine disorders or in many different ...

The field of natriuretic peptides (NPs) as an endocrine hormone has been developing since 1979. There are three peptides in humans: atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), which bind to the guanylyl cyclase-A (GC-A ...

Mismeasure of C-Type Natriuretic Peptide [PDF]
It has been difficult to establish an endocrine role for C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). Release of CNP from the heart remains to be convincingly demonstrated (1)(2)(3)(4)(5), and data concerning CNP in cardiac disease have been conflicting, possibly because of specificity problems in measurement of CNP.

Molecular Mechanism of Blood Pressure Regulation through the Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
Natriuretic peptides, including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), have cardioprotective effects and regulate blood pressure in mammals.

AC-NP: a novel chimeric peptide with natriuretic and vasorelaxing actions. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the cardiovascular and renal activities of a newly designed natriuretic peptide (NP). Here, we engineered a novel 28-amino acid chimeric peptide, termed AC-NP that combined the 17-amino acid ring of C type ...

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

C-Type Natriuretic Peptides in Coronary Disease [PDF]
Abstract AIMS C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a paracrine growth factor expressed in the vascular endothelium. Although upregulated in atheromatous arteries, the predictive value of plasma CNP products for outcome in coronary disease is unknown.
