[The cardiac natriuretic peptides].

Minerva medica, 2006
Cardiac 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.

Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide binds to the natriuretic peptide clearance receptor

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2007
Dendroaspis 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 action of two natriuretic peptides (atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide) in the human placental vasculature

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, 2007
AbstractIn 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, 2009
The 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, 1989
The 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

2014
The 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 ...
