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 …

Physiological and cellular characterization of a plant natriuretic peptide
… by antibodies against vertebrate atrial natriuretic peptides (ANPs). It has been demonstrated that a recombinant Arabidopsis thaliana natriuretic peptide analogue (AtPNP-A) molecule can induce osmoticumdependent water uptake into protoplast at nanomolar concentrations thus affecting cell …

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 …

Atrial natriuretic peptide and streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats
… to determine whether immunoreactive atrial natriuretic peptide (irANP) concentrations in plasma and atrial tissue are altered in experimental diabetes mellitus (DM), and to compare the response of the DM and normal groups to exogenous administration of ANP. OM was induced by intraperitoneal …

Studies of atrial natriuretic peptide in the freshwater turtle Pseudemys scripta
… and sequencing of two ANP receptor-binding peptides. These peptides were not homologous to ANP but rather were homologous to the muscle protein fragments porcine desmin protein and human cardiac $\alpha$-myosin protein.

Plasma N-terminal Proatrial Natriuretic Peptide Concentration in Cats with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
… We sought to determine N-terminal proatrial natriuretic peptide concentrations [Nt-proANP] in plasma from cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Secondarily, we wished to evaluate the relationship between [Nt-proANP] and echocardiographic variables. Methods: Venous blood samples were …

Prevention of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in the Rat Liver by Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
This work characterizes the protective effects of ANP preconditioning in ischemia-reperfusion injury of the isolated perfused rat liver. It was of particular interest to evaluate the influence of ANP on the mode of cell death occurring during cold ischemia and reperfusion and to elucidate the …

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 …

An investigation of the role of Arabidopsis thaliana plant natriuretic peptide in planta
… acid, jasmonic acid, brassinosteroids and peptide hormones. Plant natriuretic peptides have been proposed to be peptide hormones involved in maintaining water and ion homeostasis in plants. Evidence for this has been provided by studies of plant responses to exogenous natriuretic peptide …

Influence of the Atrial Natriuretic Peptide on TNF- αα α -activated human endothelial cells
The present work deals with the inhibitory action of ANP on TNF- -induced expression of adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-selectin), chemokines (MCP-1), and cytoskeleton changes in human endothelial cells. 5.1.1 Effect of ANP on TNF- α αα-induced CAM expression The following diagram shows a …

Peri-operative cardiac morbidity: prediction, prevention and the novel role of B-type natriuretic peptide
… in the literature regarding the role of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the prediction of cardiac events in non-cardiac surgical patients; despite the fact that its measurement has been shown to be an important prognostic tool in both non-surgical and cardiac surgical cohorts. In this thesis …

Clinical utility of B-type natriuretic peptide (NP) in paediatric cardiac surgery: a systematic review
B-type natruiretic peptide (NP) is a biomarker that has gained widespread use in several patient populations and clinical situations. It is a hormone secreted primarily by ventricular myocytes in response in myocyte stretch or ischaemia.

Amino-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide, Diabetes, and Incident Heart Failure: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Background: There is limited data on the role of amino-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) as a predictor of incident heart failure (HF) in persons with diabetes (DM).

Characterisation of Anti-Apoptotic Signalling Pathways in Hepatocytes activated by alpha-Lipoic Acid and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
… alpha-lipoic acid (R-LA) and the hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are known to exert potent hepatoprotective action. The present work characterises alpha-lipoic acid- and ANP-mediated signal transduction pathways involved in the regulation of apoptotic cell death in two different models: …

The application of the N-terminal fragment of pro hormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT proBNP) in cardiac disease risk assessment
NT proBNP is a precursor peptide that is derived from proBNP a cardiac natriuretic peptide (NP), which is measured in plasma to assist with management of cardiac related conditions. The first aim of this study was to examine the biological variation (BV) of NT proBNP and to calculate its reference …
