C-type natriuretic peptide system in rabbit colon

Peptides, 2001
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is mainly distributed in the brain and vascular endothelium and is considered to act as a local regulator in many tissues. The present study was aimed to determine the presence of CNP system and its biological function in rabbit colon.

C-type natriuretic peptide system in rabbit oviduct

Peptides, 2001
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), a third member of the natriuretic peptide family, is known to be distributed mainly in brain and vascular endothelium and is considered to act as a local regulator in many tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of CNP system and its biological function in rabbit oviduct.

C-type natriuretic peptide neuromodulates via "clearance" receptors

American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 1995
A recently discovered endogenous autacoid, C-type natriuretic peptide, was tested in a pheochromocytoma (PC12) cell line for effects on 1) catecholamine release induced by a depolarizing stimulus, 2) guanylyl and adenylyl cyclase activities, and 3) specific 125I-labeled atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) binding.

C-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Human Coronary Atherosclerotic Lesions

Circulation, 1996
Background C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) belongs to the natriuretic peptide family and is considered to have regulatory effects on vascular tone and smooth muscle growth. Since these features play a role in atherogenesis, the presence of CNP at such sites was studied. Methods and Results

C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is the major natriuretic peptide in human cerebrospinal fluid

Brain Research, 1993
In order to investigate whether C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is present in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), we measured CNP-like immunoreactivity (-LI) in human CSF by specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) for CNP. We also measured atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations in human CSF. ANP-LI, BNP-LI, and CNP-LI

Selective Activation of the B Natriuretic Peptide Receptor by C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP)

Science, 1991
The natriuretic peptides are hormones that can stimulate natriuretic, diuretic, and vasorelaxant activity in vivo, presumably through the activation of two known cell surface receptor guanylyl cyclases (ANPR-A and ANPR-B). Although atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and, to a lesser extent, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are efficient activators of the ...

Bradykinin-potentiating peptides and C-type natriuretic peptides from snake venom

Immunopharmacology, 1999
Cloning of cDNAs encoding bradykinin-potentiating peptides (BPPs)-C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) precursor or its homologue was performed for cDNA libraries of Bothrops jararaca (South American snake), Trimeresurus flavoviridis, Trimeresurus gramineus and Agkistrodon halys blomhoffi (Asian snakes), all belonging to Crotalinae subfamily.

C-type natriuretic peptide in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

2023
The overall objective of this proposal is to further our understang of the biology and therapeutic potential of C-type natriuretic peptide in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Cardiac fibrosis a key risk factor for the development adverse outcomes in HCM, however, there is no proven medical therapy for HCM that modifies fibrosis in humans, which ...

Cardiovascular and renal actions of C-type natriuretic peptide

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1992
Studies were performed in two groups of anesthetized dogs (n = 5 per group) to determine the cardiovascular and renal actions of synthetic C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). Systemic infusion of CNP (group 1; 10 and 50 ng.kg-1.min-1 iv) resulted in marked cardiovascular hemodynamic effects characterized by a decrease in mean arterial pressure, cardiac ...
