natriuretic

On the next page we'll learn about the different types of natriuretic peptides.

Natriuretic peptides are produced by the heart and the blood vessels.

In fact, the natriuretic peptides are sometimes called the body's "natural diuretics."

He has established that they evolved from a family of proteins known as natriuretic peptides.

L-dopa is also a natriuretic agent, which might help in controlling hypertension.

It is associated with accumulation of atrial natriuretic factor.

Similarly, this review will not discuss any of the yet experimental agents such as atrial natriuretic factor.

It is known by several names including auriculin, atriopeptin and atrial natriuretic factor.

The kidneys produce their own natriuretic 32-residue peptide.

Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide was extracted according to Sagnella et al.

The natriuretic effect of BNP leads to an increase in urine production.

The glycoside kaempferol is used as diuretic and natriuretic.

Aldosterone has exactly the opposite function of the atrial natriuretic hormone secreted by the heart.

Elevated serum levels of cardiac troponins and brain natriuretic peptide are poor prognostic factors.

Atrial natriuretic peptide causes the distal convoluted tubule to excrete more sodium.

Atrial natriuretic peptide is released by the heart in response to high blood pressure and high salinity of the blood.

"Atrial natriuretic peptide attracts human spermatozoa in vitro".

It is localized in the kidney where it results in natriuresis upon binding to natriuretic peptides.

In the kidney it is inhibited by atrial natriuretic peptide, causing natriuresis and diuresis.

Atrial natriuretic peptide forms a parallel negative feedback loop in an endocrinological contrast to the renin-angiotensin system.

All natriuretic peptides are bound by the NPR-C.

(1983) The amino acid sequence of an atrial peptide with potent diuretic and natriuretic properties.

Similarly, the natriuretic peptides counterregulate against renin, angiotensin, and aldosterone which elevate blood pressure.

Time-dependent changes in B-type natriuretic peptide after heart transplantation: correlation with allograft rejection and function.

The measurement of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide indicated that these changes were due to the gravitational effects on the distensibility of the right heart.

Natriuretic can refer to:
