Carperitide, a synthetic alpha-human atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a newly developed
drug for the treatment of heart failure. However, effects of carperitide on susceptibility to …

Carperitide, a recombinant form of α-hANP, possesses potent diuretic, natriuretic, and
vasodilatory activity, and inhibits the renin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous …

Objectives Alpha-human atrial natriuretic peptide (alpha-hANP) has been used to treat
patients with heart failure due to its natriuretic and vasodilatory activities. Recent reports …

We investigated whether atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) given just prior to reperfusion
reduces infarction in rabbit hearts and whether protection is related to activation of protein …

BACKGROUND: Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a stimulator of particulate guanylate
cyclase, has been found to protect against reoxygenation-induced hypercontracture in …

Objectives: The aim of this investigation was to test whether the administration of atrial
natriuretic peptide (ANP) has cardioprotective effects against ischaemic and reperfusion …

Background: In recent years, various beneficial roles of human atrial natriuretic peptide
(hANP) have been demonstrated in the internal medicine and surgical fields. However …

We examined the hemodynamic and neurohumoral effects of carperitide in dogs with low-
output heart failure (LHF) produced by volume expansion, ligation of the left anterior …

Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a hormone secreted by the heart, is elevated in
cardiac failure. In the aim to study the role of ANP in cardiac failure, the haemodynamic …

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been reported to be released from the myocardium
during ischemia. We hypothesized that BNP mediates cardioprotection during ischemia …
