Bestimmung von "Brain Natriuretic Peptide"(BNP) bei gesunden Hunden
… Peptide (ANP), Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) und C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP). BNP wurde ursprünglich im Gehirn von Schweinen isoliert, bald stellte sich heraus, dass eine wesentlich höhere Konzentration im Herz vorliegt. Plasma-BNP ist bei verschiedenen Herzerkrankungen vieler …

Comparative analysis of BNP Paribas' approaches to energy sustainability, security, and costs in France and South Africa
This thesis investigates BNP Paribas' approaches to sustainability, security, and energy costs in France and South Africa, comparing the bank's strategies in response to energy challenges. The research problem focuses on banks' challenges in creating consistent energy sustainability strategies …

Impaired tissue responsiveness to B-type natriuretic peptide in heart failure: biochemical bases.
Release of the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is increased in heart failure (HF). Physiologically, BNP exerts natriuretic, diuretic, vasodilator and cardioprotective effects. A number of clinical investigations carried out with synthetic BNP for the treatment of HF have suggested that BNP-based …

The far right in the UK: The BNP in comparative perspective. Examining the development of the British Nation Party within the context of UK and continental far right politics
… in the UK is examined to establish whether the BNP have changed their stance in comparison to previous far right movements. The BNP are also investigated comparatively with other West European parties who have enjoyed national success, as a means of discovering whether the party are similar to …

Population Viability Analysis of Swift fox (Vulpes velox) at the Badlands National Park
… the region surrounding Badlands National Park (BNP). The species declined during the mid-1900s due to habitat fragmentation, non-target poisoning, and harvest. A remnant population occurred on USDA Forest Service lands in Fall River County, South Dakota. Following the successful reintroduction …

How has woody vegetation changed in north-east Namibia in response to land use, climate and fire?
… areas such as that of Bwabwata National Park (BNP) in north-east Namibia. With a complex land use history and different fire management approaches being adopted throughout the area, the effect of fire on woody vegetation in BNP is currently poorly understood. This study used a 20-year-old …

Neurohormonal and inflammatory markers in valvular heart disease
… peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and amino-terminal BNP (N-BNP) reflect left ventricular dysfunction, correlate with symptoms of cardiac failure and are independent prognostic markers for clinical outcomes in diverse cardiac conditions, but very few studies address natriuretic …

Myokardiale Expression von Estrogenrezeptoren bei Patienten mit angeborenem Herzfehler
… which we confronted with the expression of BNP, the emission of the Troponin T and the postoperative course. We could prove, that the infantile myocardium expresses ERa&b. Thereby we found out that the expressions of both receptors strictly correlate with one another, so it may be possible, …

Fluid retention in congestive heart failure-the role of natriuretic peptides and arginine vasopressin
… factor (ANF), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) in CHF is not fully understood. Studies were done in 300days old male normal and cardiomyopathic hamsters with moderate CHF. Their body and heart weights were measured. Blood was …

Cardiac Vasoactive Peptides in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy of Cats
In conclusion, ANP and BNP are normally produced and stored in the atria. With HCM, significant peptide and mRNA expression of BNP is found in the ventricles, while protein and gene expression of ANP remains mainly in the atria. This pattern agrees with increases in plasma concentrations of both …

Effect of Coyotes and Release Site Selection on Survival and Movement of Translocated Swift Foxes in the Badlands Ecosystem of South Dakota
… and transported to Badlands National Park (BNP) for release. A total of 114 swift foxes (51 males, 63 females) were released from 2003-2006. All foxes were fitted with VHF radio collars before release. Mean home range size during the pup rearing season did not differ between male (14.2 ± 1.0 …

The Relationship of Resting Cardiopulmonary Function to Peak and Submaximal Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Older Adults with Heart Failure
… prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP), New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, and inspiratory capacity, are all obtainable in an office visit and may explain enough variance in peak Q, VO2, the VE/VCO2 slope, 6MWT distance, or all three measurements to be useful in the …
