Identification of natriuretic peptide receptors in a broad range of tissues, including the pancreas, liver, and adipose tissues, implies biological effects beyond pressure–volume homeostasis In ...

An association between natriuretic peptide levels and specific cardiovascular end-points (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke and heart failure) in patients with stable CAD has ...

ANP, BNP, and CNP are proving to be reliable biomarkers for a variety of conditions. Natriuretic peptides mainly consist of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C ...

During the past several years, the measurement of natriuretic peptides has rapidly moved from virtual obscurity to widespread use. Natriuretic peptides are now recognized as a valuable tool in the ...

James, SK, Lindahl, B, Siegbahn, A, et al. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and other risk markers for the separate prediction of mortality and subsequent myocardial infarction in patients ...

BNP and a closely related peptide (called NT-proBNP for short) go by a few different names. These include: B-type natriuretic peptide Brain natriuretic peptide NT-pro b-type natriuretic peptide N ...

The stressed myocardium releases natriuretic peptides, denoted in red; their release improves the circulation. Adapted from Anker and von Haehling 3 and Seta et al. 11 Thus, measurements of C ...

We read with interest the recent review by Michael Felker and colleagues,1 in which they suggest that it may be problematic to attempt to use a common plasma reference level for B-type natriuretic ...

Natriuretic peptides are secreted from the heart as counter regulatory hormones in response to increased intraventricular and atrial pressure and stretch. Assays to measure natriuretic peptide ...

Researchers increased peptide activity in fat tissue to prevent obesity and insulin resistance caused by a high-fat diet. Will these findings help fight metabolic disease in the future? Improved ...

AnaSpec, EGT Group provides a wide range of GO® (catalog) natriuretic peptides for use in research laboratories. Our selection of atrial natriuretic peptides (ANPs) include the biologically active ...

The natriuretic peptides are a family of related hormones that play a crucial role in cardiovascular homeostasis. They have recently emerged as potentially important clinical markers in heart failure.
