The role of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and potential defects of ANP in liver disease are reviewed. Patients with cirrhosis of the liver show no decrease of ANP plasma concentrations nor changes in the pattern of ANP immunoreactivity nor changes of splanchnic ANP clearance. The renal effects of exogenously administered as well as endogenously released ANP are blunted in cirrhosis, in parti...

To explain the pathophysiological significance of endogenous atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) in the development of hypertension, we examined the effect of chronic, repetitive administrations of MAb raised against a-rat ANP in two rat models of hypertension, spontaneously hypertensive rats of the stroke prone substrain (SHR-SP), and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt rats. Weekly intra...

To evaluate the role of extra-atrial atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in volume and blood pressure regulation, the plasma, atrial, ventricular, and hypothalamic levels of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic peptide (IR-ANP) were measured simultaneously in the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) at the ages of 2, 6, and 12 months. Plasma IR-ANP in the 12-month-old, co...

Atrial secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has been shown to be regulated by atrial workload. Although modulating factors for the secretion of ANP have been reported, the role for intracellular Ca(2+) on the secretion of ANP has been controversial. The purpose of the present study was to define roles for L- and T-type Ca(2+) channels in the regulation of ANP secretion in perfused beat...

This study investigated the hypothesis that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) responses are mediated by particulate guanylate cyclase in the pulmonary vascular bed of the cat. When tone in the pulmonary vascular bed was raised to a high steady level with the thromboxane mimic U-46619, injections of ANP caused dose-related decreases in lobar arterial pressure. After administration of HS-142-1, an...

The main active form of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in the circulation is alpha ANP(1-28) [gamma-ANP(99-126)], although some active and inactive metabolites are also though to be present. Some immunoassays for alpha ANP reportedly detect inactive metabolites, as determined by their comparison with results by receptor assay, which would lead to misleading results for alpha ANP(1-28) measure...
