Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) stimulates natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A) and increases intracellular cGMP. We examined the changes in ANP and NPR-A in respiratory epithelium during the ...

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 ...

We also intended to compare BNP concentration with echocardiographic parameters such as ductal diameter and atrial/aortic root (LA/Ao) ratio. Finally, we tested the practicability of the BNP ...

BNP is similar to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), however ANP is not as easily measured. The initial primary use of measuring b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is to determine the etiology of ...
