Administration of arginine does not alter material circulating concentration of C-type natriuretic peptide in pregnant sheep: A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) circulates at higher levels in the circulation of ewes pregnant with multiple fetuses than in those with singletons. Because parenteral administration of arginine can mitigate the nutritional constraint that occurs in multi-fetal pregnancies, it was hypothesised …

Genome-wide census and expression profiling of chicken neuropeptide and prohormone convertase genes
Neuropeptides regulate cell-cell signaling and influence many biological processes in vertebrates, including development, growth, and reproduction. The complex processing of neuropeptides from prohormone proteins by prohormone convertases, combined with the evolutionary distance between the chicken …

Regulation of natriuretic peptide system activation:effects of spontaneous natriuretic peptide mutations and identification of novel natriuretic peptide receptor phosphorylation sites.
… that mediate the physiologic effects of natriuretic peptides, including reduction of blood pressure and blood volume, stimulation of long bone growth, and regulation of cardiac size. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) signal through GC-A while C-type …

Fluid retention in congestive heart failure-the role of natriuretic peptides and arginine vasopressin
… heart failure (CHF). The role played by atrial natriuretic 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. …

Bestimmung von "Brain Natriuretic Peptide"(BNP) bei gesunden Hunden
Zur Familie der natriuretischen Peptide gehören drei Peptide: Atrial Natriuretic 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 …

Effects of periconceptional undernutrition and twinning on ovine pregnancy
… also demonstrated that plasma levels of C-type natriuretic peptide are acutely and independently regulated by nutrient supply in mother and fetus. Fetuses of ewes undernourished both pre- and postconception had increased glucose disposal following a glucose challenge. …

Role of KATP channels in angiogenesis
… potassium channels (KATP). Intriguingly, C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP), which is also known to activate KATP, has been reported to promote endothelial cell growth; however, its angiogenic properties have not been explored at any depth. This pattern prompted us to investigate whether …
