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 ...

Circulating chimeric atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was detected in high concentration in subjects with the mutation, and shortened atrial action potentials were seen in an isolated heart model ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Simplified method using left atrial volume and natriuretic peptides streamlines diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ...

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 ...

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 ...
