Detection of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) transcript in the rat heart and immune organs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Previous studies suggested the expression of mRNA, coding for CNP, exclusively in the central nervous system. In the present study, using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique instead of the less sensitive Northern blot hybridization, CNP ...

Changes in Serum Natriuretic Peptide Levels after Percutaneous Closure of Small to Moderate Ventricular Septal Defects

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2012
Background. B-type natriuretic peptide has been shown to be a very sensitive and specific marker of heart failure. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defects with Amplatzer septal occluders on ...

Atrial natriuretic factor [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
The discovery of the first well-defined natriuretic hormone, the Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF), has prompted research on its impact on volume regulation in health and disease.

Plasma brain natriuretic peptide as a surrogate marker for cardioembolic stroke

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2008
Background Cardioembolic stroke generally results in more severe disability, since it typically has a larger ischemic area than the other types of ischemic stroke.

The level of Brain natriuretic Peptide as a Predictor of the Postoperative Period at Operations with Artificial Blood circulation

open access: yesActa Biomedica Scientifica, 2019
The level of natriuretic peptide is regarded as a prognostic predictor of postoperative heart failure in modern cardiac surgery, and moreover, this hormone is included in the standards of its early diagnosis around the world.

Natriuretic peptides and integrated risk assessment for cardiovascular disease. an individual-participant-data meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Guidelines for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases focus on prediction of coronary heart disease and stroke. We assessed whether or not measurement of N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration could enable ...

Signaling pathways involved in renal oxidative injury: role of the vasoactive peptides and the renal dopaminergic system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The physiological hydroelectrolytic balance and the redox steady state in the kidney are accomplished by an intricate interaction between signals from extrarenal and intrarenal sources and between antinatriuretic and natriuretic factors.

Natriuretic peptides and their usefulness in clinical practise

open access: yesJournal of Education, Health and Sport, 2020
Natriuretic peptides are peptic hormones produced by atrial and ventricular myocytes, and by endothelium of blood vessels, that take part in homeostatic control of water and sodium levels, but also potassium transport, lipolysis in adipocytes and blood ...

Acute effects of insulin on circulating natriuretic peptide levels in humans. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
The natriuretic peptide hormones play an important role in salt and blood pressure regulation. In observational studies, obesity and insulin resistance have been consistently associated with lower concentrations of natriuretic peptides.

B-type natriuretic peptide and N-terminal Pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in severe aortic stenosis: a comprehensive literature review

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-pro BNP) are cardiac biomarkers that are released in response to increased ventricular and atrial wall stress.
