Atrial natriuretic peptide and streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats
… undertaken 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 …

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.

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 …

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 …

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 …

Regulation of the Nuclear Factor of Activated T Cell (NFAT) Family of Transcription Factors in the Freeze Tolerant Wood Frog, Rana sylvatica
… activated NFATc4 in liver, leading to increased atrial natriuretic peptide levels. Neither freezing nor anoxia significantly affected NFATs in skeletal muscle. Overall, the study indicates that NFATs have a crucial role to play in the natural cryoprotection of liver.

Einfluss von vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor-beta-1, Interleukin-6, atrial natriuretic beptide, brain natriuretic peptide und Cortisol auf die Gen-Expression des menschlichen Herzmuskels in vitro
… Factor-beta-1(TGF-beta-1), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP), Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) und Cortisol (bzw. Dexamethason) auf das humane Myokard. Um Rückschlüsse auf mögliche Hypertrophie induzierende bzw. Hypertrophie inhibierende Effekte zu erlangen, wurde die …

Molecular Characterisation of the Brassinosteroid, Phytosulfokine and cGMP-dependent Responses in Arabidopsis thaliana
… kinase activity using the Ser/Thr peptide 1 as a substrate. In addition, we show that the receptor`s ability to phosphorylate a substrate is affected by the product (cGMP) of its co-domain (GC) and that the receptor autophosphorylates on serine residues and this step was also …

Manipulation of second messengers by ectopic expression of receptors in transgenic Drosophila
… constructed or obtained transgenic for the rat atrial natriuretic peptide receptor, GC-A, the Drosophila 5HT7Dro receptor, and the Drosophila 5HT1ADro receptor, under control of the UAS or heat-shock promoter. Tubules dissected from such flies were then demonstrated to show diuresis induced by …

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 …

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 …

Molecular mapping of the rabbit atrioventricular node
… for the important conduction delay between atrial systole and ventricular systole. The anatomical architecture and functional properties of the AVN are complex. Ionic currents have been characterised in the AVN at both the whole tissue level and single cell level. However, little is known …

Genetic Factors and Dietary Salt Intake as Determinants of Blood Pressure and Risk of Primary Hypertension
… of renin (P-renin) and N-terminal pro-Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (P-Nt-proANP). Regions on chromosome 2, 3, and 14 revealed loci that are likely to harbor genes of importance for BP regulation and subsequent development of HT (study I-II). The ADRA2B, that resides directly underneath …

The sophisticated architecture of the rat atrioventricular node
… potential spontaneously generated in the sinoatrial (SA) node propagates through the atria to reach the atrioventricular (AV) node. As the only conduction pathway between the atria and ventricles, the AV node functions to delay and regulate action potential conduction between the atria and …

Nitrates and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
… that nitrate therapy resulted in lower plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (P ANP) levels and reduced the need for additional diuretics. Less LV dilatation was observed in patients with more severe LV dysfunction at baseline, indicating clinically beneficial effects, especially in patients with …

Neurohormonal and inflammatory markers in valvular heart disease
… Numerous studies demonstrate that increased natriuretic peptide plasma levels, including atrial natriuretic 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 …

Targeting heart rate as a novel therapeutic approach in acute heart failure
… We therefore questioned whether the use of a sinoatrial node inhibitor (ivabradine) to modulate heart rate may improve outcomes in AHF. Objectives and methods: Our objectives were 3-fold: (1) to explore the effect of a standard treatment strategy on heart rate in a South African cohort of PPCM …

The role of renal afferent signalling in chronic intermittent hypoxia-induced sympathoexcitation and hypertension
… independent of neural control. The increase in atrial natriuretic peptide during VE was attenuated in CIH. Assessment of the high-pressure baroreflex revealed decreased slope in CIH-exposed rats with substantial hypertension, but not when hypertension was modest. Diuresis and natriuresis during …
