Potential applications of natriuretic peptide system in cardiovascular regenerative medicine [PDF]

CellR4, 2022
Cardiovascular diseases are among the major causes of death worldwide. These diseases can be described as circumstances in which cell loss and injury exceed the capacity for regeneration and repair.

Sex-specific associations of obesity and N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide levels in the general population

European Journal of Heart Failure, 2018
Obese subjects have lower natriuretic peptide levels, but males and females have different anthropometric characteristics and fat distribution. Whether obesity‐associated lowering of natriuretic peptides differs among males and females is unknown ...

Inefficient constitutive inhibition of P2X3 receptors by brain natriuretic peptide system contributes to sensitization of trigeminal sensory neurons in a genetic mouse model of familial hemiplegic migraine

Molecular Pain, 2016
Background On trigeminal ganglion neurons, pain-sensing P2X3 receptors are constitutively inhibited by brain natriuretic peptide via its natriuretic peptide receptor-A. This inhibition is associated with increased P2X3 serine phosphorylation and receptor

Role of B‐Type Natriuretic Peptide and N‐Terminal Prohormone BNP as Predictors of Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality in Patients With a Recent Coronary Event and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
Background Natriuretic peptides are recognized as important predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure, but less is known about their prognostic importance in patients with acute coronary syndrome. We sought to determine whether B‐

Plasma brain natriuretic peptide as a surrogate marker for cardioembolic stroke

BMC 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.

Natriuretic Peptide-Based Novel Therapeutics: Long Journeys of Drug Developments Optimized for Disease States

Biology, 2022
The field of natriuretic peptides (NPs) as an endocrine hormone has been developing since 1979. There are three peptides in humans: atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), which bind to the guanylyl cyclase-A (GC-A ...

A Test in Context Critical Evaluation of Natriuretic Peptide Testing in Heart Failure

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2016
Circulating natriuretic peptide measurements have been used extensively over the past 15 years to diagnose and monitor patients with heart failure. We are still learning how complex the dynamics of natriuretic peptides can be in the interpretation of ...

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

The 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 Peptide in Cardiovascular Biology and Disease (NPPA)

Gene, 2015
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a cardiac hormone that regulates salt-water balance and blood pressure by promoting renal sodium and water excretion and stimulating vasodilation.

Natriuretic peptides and their usefulness in clinical practise

Journal 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 ...
