Endogenous atrial natriuretic factor and airway control
… experiments investigating the role of endogenous atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in the modulation of airway calibre and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in humans under normal physiological conditions. Two approaches are used. One approach examines the diurnal variation of endogenous ANF and its …

Expression of atrial natriuretic factor in transgenic potatoes
… the expression of the precursor molecule of rat atrial natriuretic factor, ANF-(1-126), in transgenic potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L. cultivar Iwa). Four ANF gene fusions were constructed for extracellular expression of ANF-(1-126) either by retaining the native signal peptide of ANF or replacing …

Investigations into the influence and role of tissue factor in the pathogenesis of myocardial hypertrophy
Recently it has been demonstrated that tissue factor (TF) plays an important role in the induction and/or progression of cardiac hypertrophy. The aim of this thesis was to examine the relationship between TF and the onset of cardiac hypertrophy. Cardiac hypertrophy was achieved by aortic …

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 …
