C-Type Natriuretic Peptide Stimulates Ovarian Follicle Development

Dexamethasone stimulates expression of C-type Natriuretic Peptide in chondrocytes

BACKGROUND Growth of endochondral bones is regulated through the activity of cartilaginous growth plates. Disruption of the physiological patterns of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation--such as in endocrine disorders or in many different genetic diseases (e.g. chondrodysplasias)--generally results in dwarfism and skeletal defects. For example, glucocorticoid administration in childre...

C-type natriuretic peptide in reproduction, pregnancy and fetal development.

C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) belongs to the natriuretic peptide family that consists of three structurally related peptides with a 17-amino acid ring linked by a disulfide bond. In contrast to atrial and brain natriuretic peptides that are mainly cardiovascular hormones, CNP acts predominantly in an autocrine/paracrine fashion, is commonly considered to be an endothelial hormone with antimi...

Regulation of C-type natriuretic peptide expression.

C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a member of the small family of natriuretic peptides that also includes atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain, or B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Unlike them, it performs its major functions in an autocrine or paracrine manner. Those functions, mediated through binding to the membrane guanylyl cyclase natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B), or by signa...
