Natriuretic Peptides: The Case of Prostate Cancer
Molecules, 2017 Cardiac natriuretic peptides have long been known to act as main players in the homeostatic control of blood pressure, salt and water balance. However, in the last few decades, new properties have been ascribed to these hormones.

Physiology and clinical significance of natriuretic hormones
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013 The natriuretic system consists of the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and four other similar peptides including the wrongly named brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Chemically they are small peptide hormones predominantly secreted by the cardiac myocytes

Comprehensive exploration of unexplained dyspnoea in subjects with normal ejection fraction and low natriuretic peptides. [PDF]
ESC Heart FailAbstract Background Unexplained exertional dyspnoea without significant elevation of natriuretic peptides is common. One of the causes might be early heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Aims This study aimed to characterize patients with exertional dyspnoea and normal/near‐to‐normal N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT ...

Natriuretic Peptides in Chronic Heart Failure
Cardiac Failure Review, 2019 Normal brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) levels are helpful in excluding chronic heart failure in the ambulatory setting, although they have been studied less well and possibly less accurately than in acute care.

Secondary Publication: Natriuretic Peptides in Heart Failure
Tokyo Women's Medical University JournalNatriuretic peptides are among the most important discoveries in cardiovascular medicine, revealing the endocrine properties of the heart. Natriuretic peptides are activated in heart failure (HF) and play important cardioprotective roles.

Taipan Natriuretic Peptides Are Potent and Selective Agonists for the Natriuretic Peptide Receptor A
Molecules, 2023 Cardiovascular ailments are a major cause of mortality where over 1.3 billion people suffer from hypertension leading to heart-disease related deaths. Snake venoms possess a broad repertoire of natriuretic peptides with therapeutic potential for treating hypertension, congestive heart failure, and related cardiovascular disease. We now describe several
