The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) gene was, though inconclusive, implied to be
etiologically related to stroke in rats and recently in humans. The present study tested the …

Background—Recent evidence from an animal model of stroke, the stroke-prone
spontaneously hypertensive rat, implicated the gene encoding atrial natriuretic peptide …

The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) gene may underlie stroke susceptibility and sensitivity to
cerebral ischemia in an animal model of stroke. The authors investigate its role in humans …

Background and Purpose—A precise definition of genetic factors responsible for common
forms of stroke is still lacking. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the …

Background—The goal of this study was to identify genetic determinants of plasma N-
terminal proatrial natriuretic peptide (NT-proANP) in the general community by performing a …

Previous studies in a hypertensive animal model of stroke and in humans showed that
mutations of the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) gene are associated with increased risk of …

抄録 Variants of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are reported to be more common in blacks
with hypertension than in normotensive controls and constitute an independent risk factor for …

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure
through sodium–water homoeostasis. Accordingly, several investigators have raised the …

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) plays a crucial role in regulating body fluid volume and blood
pressure, by promoting natriuresis and vasodilatation and by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin …

Objective To determine how the downregulation of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) gene
expression, previously demonstrated to occur only in the brain of the stroke-prone …
