Atrial natriuretic polypeptide in bovine adrenal medulla.
Two radioimmunoassays for alpha-human atrial natriuretic polypeptide (alpha-hANP) with different specificities were used to study the tissue level and the nature of alpha-hANP-like immunoreactivity in the bovine adrenal gland. A considerable amount of alpha-hANP-like immunoreactivity was detected in the adrenal medulla (90.8 +/- 21.1 and 90.0 +/- 23.1 ng/g with the two radioimmunoassays), while...
متن کاملAtrial natriuretic factor and the atrial function.
Accessible online at: http://BioMedNet.com/karger Dear Sir, I read with interest the report by Takeichi et al. [1] on the relationship between left atrial function and plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide in patients with various types of heart disease. I would like to make three comments. First, the term atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is preferable to the term atrial natriuretic peptid...
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay of atrial natriuretic polypeptide in heat-treated human plasma.
In this simple, sensitive radioimmunoassay (RIA) of atrial natriuretic polypeptide (hANP) in human plasma, nonspecific interference is minimized by deproteinizing the plasma by heat treatment at 85 degrees C for 10 min. We directly measure alpha-hANP in the supernates by RIA, with use of antiserum that recognizes the N-terminal region of alpha-hANP. The minimal detectable value was 0.4 pg per t...
متن کاملPlasma concentration of atrial natriuretic polypeptide in patients with atrial tachycardia.
To investigate the mechanisms of polyuria associated with tachycardia, we measured plasma concentrations of alpha-human atrial natriuretic polypeptide (alpha-hANP) and cGMP in 6 patients with paroxysmal tachycardia. Plasma concentrations of immunoreactive alpha-hANP and cGMP increased by +69% (p less than 0.05) and +100% (p less than 0.05), respectively, during both paroxysmal atrial tachycardi...
متن کاملStructure and function of atrial natriuretic peptides.
Borst and Borst-de Geus (1) first suggested that the kidney’s control of sodium excretion is paramount in the maintenance of blood pressure. Since then, knowledge on the nature of human hypertension has accumulated in favor of their suggestion (2). The evidence is strong that miniscule deficiencies in renal sodium excretion can, over the course of years, lead to cardiovascular pathology (2). Ea...
