Dysregulation of the natriuretic peptide system has been associated with several life-style related metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus ...

The natriuretic peptide family plays a distinct physiological and pathophysiological role in cardiovascular control. It consists of at least four ligands—ANP, BNP, CNP, ...

Natriuretic peptides, including B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP), are useful for risk stratification in patients with heart failure.

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 ...
