Journal of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia, 1989
This report has reviewed some of the cardiovascular aspects of ANP. The emergence of the heart as an endocrine organ requires that numerous questions be asked with regard to the importance of ANP to anesthesia and surgery. It is clear that the interaction of the hormone with other vasoactive compounds, including anesthetic agents, requires further ...

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1986
Publisher Summary The natriuretic peptide system consists of three peptides with similar structures. These peptides cause a wide range of actions in the kidney, the vasculature, the heart, and the central nervous system. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has subsequently been the subject of extensive investigation.

Over the last four decades, cardiac natriuretic peptides have changed our understanding of patients with chronic heart failure. From the discovery of the heart as an endocrine organ with its own hormones and receptors, the biochemistry and physiology of the system have been translated into useful biomarkers and drug targets in cardiovascular disease ...

Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide binds to the natriuretic peptide clearance receptor
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2007Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) is a newly-described natriuretic peptide which lowers blood pressure via vasodilation. The natriuretic peptide clearance receptor (NPR-C) removes natriuretic peptides from the circulation, but whether DNP interacts with human NPR-C directly is unknown.

[The cardiac natriuretic peptides].
Minerva medica, 2006Cardiac natriuretic peptides (including ANP, BNP, CNP and urodilatin) constitute a family of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters, sharing similar chemical structure (characterized by a cysteine bridge) and biological function. ANP and BNP are cardiac hormones because they are principally produced and secreted by cardiomyocytes.

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995
Our purpose was to compare the actions of atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide in the human placental vasculature.Isolated placental cotyledons were dually perfused with fetal perfusion pressure used as an index of vascular response.

Atrial natriuretic peptide and related peptides
Clinical Chemical Laboratory Medicine, 2007AbstractIn recent years, biomarkers have been recognized as important tools for diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapeutic decision-making in cardiovascular diseases. Currently, the clinical potential of several natriuretic peptides is under scientific investigation.

Natriuretic Peptides in Septic Patients
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2009The natriuretic peptide family is comprised of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), dendroaspis natriuretic peptide - DNP and urodilatin. They play a role in the diagnosis of several diseases, especially those involving the cardiovascular system. Sepsis is a complex condition that can lead

Atrial natriuretic peptide in man
American Journal of Nephrology, 1989The heart is the major source of atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP). A propeptide is stored in atrial myocytes. In normal humans, atrial distension secondary to volume overload and/or increased atrial pressures are thought to stimulate the secretion of biologically active alpha-ANP (ANF-[99-126], 28 amino residues) into the circulation.

Natriuretic Peptide System and the Heart
2014The natriuretic peptide (NP) family includes atrial (ANP), brain or B-type (BNP) and C-type NP (CNP). A huge number of experimental and clinical studies, published in the 1st decade of this century, have added further support to the hypothesis that endocrine function in the human heart is a relevant component of a complex network including endocrine ...
