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.

The T2238C human atrial natriuretic peptide molecular variant and the risk of cardiovascular diseases [PDF]
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a cardiac hormone which plays important functions to maintain cardio-renal homeostasis. The peptide structure is highly conserved among species. However, a few gene variants are known to fall within the human ANP gene.

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.

Resetting the neurohormonal balance in heart failure (HF). the relevance of the natriuretic peptide (NP) system to the clinical management of patients with HF [PDF]
The natriuretic peptide (NP) system, which includes atrial natriuretic peptide, B-type natriuretic peptide, and C-type natriuretic peptide, has an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis, promoting a number of physiological effects including ...

Natriuretic peptide receptors on rat thymocytes: Inhibition of proliferation by atrial natriuretic peptide. [PDF]
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.

Molecular Implications of natriuretic peptides in the protection from hypertension and target organ damage development [PDF]
The pathogenesis of hypertension, as a multifactorial trait, is complex. High blood pressure levels, in turn, concur with the development of cardiovascular damage.
