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

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 …

Previous evidence supports a role of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) as a candidate gene for
hypertension. We characterized an ANP gene promoter variant, which has been associated …

Recent studies suggest that the ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide)/NPRA (type A natriuretic
peptide receptor) system modulates ventricular remodelling and cardiac hypertrophy in …

This was an association study of genetic polymorphisms to compare the distribution of the
genotypes and alleles of the Hpa II polymorphism of the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) gene …

Objectives: The goal of our study was to investigate the relationships between atrial
natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and type A natriuretic peptide …

The natriuretic peptide precursor A (NPPA) gene, found on chromosome 1p36, encodes the
precursor from which atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) is derived. Due to the action of …

Objective To test the hypothesis that the Hpa II variant of the atrial natriuretic peptide gene
(ANP), which has been reported to be more common among black hypertensives than it is …

Background—Cardiomyocytes secrete atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic
peptide (BNP) in response to mechanical stretching, making them useful clinical biomarkers …

ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide), discovered 30 years ago in rat cardiac atria, has been
extensively investigated with regard to physiology, pathophysiology, cardiovascular disease …
