The Natriuretic Peptides for Hypertension Treatment
High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 2021Hypertension is a common pathological condition predisposing to a higher occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and events. Unfortunately, treatment of hypertension is still suboptimal worldwide. More efforts are needed to implement the availability of anti-hypertensive drugs.

Biology of the Natriuretic Peptides
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2008The biology of the natriuretic peptide (NP) system is complex, yet highly phylogenetically preserved. It regulates salt and water handling, promotes vasodilatation, and exerts favorable effects on the heart in the context of processes such as heart failure.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

[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.

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.

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
