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 ...

February 16, 2009 (Boston, Massachusetts) — New research has found that common variations in the genes that produce atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are associated ...

Administering atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery helps to preserve kidney function ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 97, No. 8 (Apr. 11, 2000), pp. 4369-4373 (5 pages) Disruption of the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptor ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is similar to b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the hemodynamic effects. ANP is not measured clinically unlike BNP. It is released in response to myocyte stretch ...

Atrial cardiomyocytes, neurons, and endocrine tissues secrete neurotransmitters and peptide hormones via large dense-core vesicles (LDCVs). We describe a new member of the Ras family of G-proteins, ...

Oulu, Finland - Postinfarction levels of brain-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are a significant independent predictor of risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) even in this age, when most MI survivors ...
