Low concentrations of natriuretic peptides (NPs) have been associated with greater risk for
Type 2 diabetes (T2D). African American individuals (AA) have lower NP levels and are …

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is primarily seen as a hormone involved in salt and water
homeostasis and blood pressure regulation. Evidence supports a link between metabolism …

Context: We have previously shown that high levels of atrial natriuretic peptides (ANPs) are
associated with decreased risk of future diabetes development; however, the mechanism …

Objective: Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a secretory hormone displaying diuretic,
natriuretic, and vasorelaxant activities. Recently, its lipolytic activity has been reported. Since …

Objective: Relative atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) deficiency has been implicated in the
pathogenesis of obesity-associated cardiovascular and metabolic disease. We tested the …

Background The natriuretic peptide hormones play an important role in salt and blood
pressure regulation. In observational studies, obesity and insulin resistance have been …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to investigate the association between natriuretic
peptides and body fat distribution in a multiethnic cohort. Background: Natriuretic peptides …

BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that obese persons have lower circulating
natriuretic peptide (NP) concentrations. The cause of the relative NP deficiency seen in …

Natriuretic peptides have important roles in the regulation of vasomotor tone, salt
homeostasis, and ventricular remodeling. Lower natriuretic peptide levels observed in …

Background—Experimental studies suggest that the natriuretic peptides influence lipid and
fatty acid metabolism. Although it has been shown that obese individuals have reduced …
