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 Despite advances in the understanding of diabetic retinopathy, the nature and
time course of molecular changes in the retina with diabetes are incompletely described …

Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are traditionally known as cardiac hormones with diuretic,
natriuretic and blood pressure lowering properties. Evidence indicates that NPs and their …

Along with its role in regulating blood pressure and fluid homeostasis, the natriuretic peptide
system could be also part of an endogenous protective mechanism against brain damage …

Natriuretic peptides exert pleiotropic effects on the cardiovascular system, including
natriuresis, diuresis, vasodilation, and lusitropy, by signaling through membrane-bound …

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 …

Purpose.: To evaluate the potential neuroprotective effects of C-type natriuretic peptide
(CNP) on rat retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Methods.: Cultured adult rat retinal cells were …

In the last decades increasing evidence indicated a crucial role of the Wnt/β-catenin
signaling in development of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons. Recently dysregulation …

Natriuretic peptides and their receptors are widely expressed in mammalian CNS and
increasing evidence implicates them in the regulation of neural development, synaptic …
