Plasma brain natriuretic peptide and C-type natriuretic peptide in essential hypertension

Journal of Hypertension, 1994
To study the relationship between hypertension and the plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and to determine whether the plasma levels of BNP and CNP are correlated.A cross-sectional study of the plasma levels of BNP and CNP in hypertensive patients and normotensive controls matched for age and sex was ...

C-type natriuretic peptide and atrial natriuretic peptide receptors of rat brain

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1993
Natriuretic peptide receptors in rat brain were mapped by in vitro autoradiography using 125I-labeled [Tyr0]CNP-(1-22) to bind atrial natriuretic peptide receptor (ANPR)-B and ANPR-C receptors selectively, and 125I-labeled alpha-ANP to select ANPR-A and ANPR-C receptors.

N-terminal pro-C-type natriuretic peptide, but not C-type natriuretic peptide, is greatly elevated in the fetal circulation

Clinical Science, 2004
We have identified recently a new peptide, NT-proCNP(1–50) (N-terminal pro-C-type natriuretic peptide), in the circulation of humans and sheep. A previous report of an elevated fetal–maternal gradient in immunoreactive CNP raised the possibility that processing and metabolism of proCNP may differ in maternal and fetal tissues.

Receptor selectivity of natriuretic peptide family, atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, and C-type natriuretic peptide.

Endocrinology, 1992
To elucidate the ligand-receptor relationship of the natriuretic peptide system, which comprises at least three endogenous ligands, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and three receptors, the ANP-A receptor or guanylate cyclase-A (GC-A), the ANP-B receptor or guanylate cyclase-B (GC ...

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 ...

C-type natriuretic peptide: a link between hyperandrogenism and anovulation in a mouse model of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Clinical science, 2018
The polycystic ovary (PCO) syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility in women and is associated with several clinical disorders.

Role of natriuretic peptide clearance receptor in in vivo control of C-type natriuretic peptide

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1995
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a newly described 22-amino acid peptide of endothelial cell origin, which has selective cardiovascular actions and is structurally related to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). Recent in vitro studies have demonstrated that an important regulatory pathway for the clearance of natriuretic peptides involves binding to ...

Mechanisms of Action of Atrial Natriuretic Factor and C-Type Natriuretic Peptide

Hypertension, 1996
Abstract After secretion by the heart, atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) circulates in plasma, whereas C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), which is found in abundance in the endothelium, may regulate vascular tone in a paracrine manner. However, there is little information on the effect of CNP on renal microvessels. We hypothesized

C-Type natriuretic peptide maintains domestic cat oocytes in meiotic arrest.

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2016
Recent studies have shown that C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP; encoded by the natriuretic peptide C (NPPC) gene) plays an essential role in maintaining meiotic arrest of mouse and porcine oocytes.
