Natriuretic hormones (NH) include three groups of compounds: the natriuretic peptides
(ANP, BNP and CNP), the gastrointestinal peptides (guanylin and uroguanylin), and …

Natriuretic peptides (NPs), including atrial, brain and C-type NPs, are a family of structurally
related but genetically distinct peptides. These peptides, along with their receptors (NPRs) …

Background The relationship between brain natriuretic peptides and depression was
studied in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but the data in people without CVD …

Background Dysnatremia occurs commonly in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid
hemorrhage (aSAH). The mechanisms for development of sodium dyshomeostasis are …

Background: Depression is common among patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and
has been independently associated with a poorer prognosis. Purpose: This study evaluated …

Abstract Atrial (ANP), brain (BNP), and C-type (CNP) natriuretic peptides act by binding to
three main subtypes of receptors, named NPR-A,-B, and-C. NPR-A and NPR-B are coupled …

Background The prognostic role of B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in stroke has been
suggested, but limited studies have shown mixed results and unknown underlying …

Natriuretic peptides (NP) are involved in the regulation of blood pressure and blood volume,
and are elevated in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). They are used as markers …

Background Embryonic stem (ES) cells have unlimited proliferation potential, and can
differentiate into several cell types, which represent ideal sources for cell-based therapy …

Background Besides the relevant role of brain‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) as biomarker
of cardioembolic strokes, new experimental evidences suggest that this peptide may …
