New aspects of the interactions between the cardiovascular nitric oxide system and natriuretic peptides
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2011-03)
Arterial blood pressure is regulated by a variety of endocrine, autocrine and neuronal systems. Natriuretic peptides and nitric oxide are important factors that exert synergistic vascular and cardiac actions and their ...
Atrial natriuretic factor stimulates renal dopamine uptake mediated by natriuretic peptide-type A receptor
(Elsevier Science, 2005-12)
To determine the effects of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) on renal dopamine (DA) metabolism, 3H-DA and 3H-L-DOPA uptake by renal tubular cells was measured in experiments carried out in vitro in Sprague-Dawley rats. The ...
Effectiveness of aquatic exercise on reduction B-type natriuretic peptide values in postmenopausal hypertensive women: a randomized clinical trial
(2016-08-01)
Purpose: To compare the responses of aquatic exercise with dry land training and control inactive group on B-type natriuretic peptide and plasma renin activity levels in postmenopausal hypertensive women. Methods: Forty ...
Isolation, homology modeling and renal effects of a C-type natriuretic peptide from the venom of the Brazilian yellow scorpion (Tityus serrulatus)
(2013-11-01)
Mammalian natriuretic peptides (NPs) have been extensively investigated for use as therapeutic agents in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Here, we describe the isolation, sequencing and tridimensional homology ...

Isolation and Characterization of a Natriuretic Peptide from Crotalus oreganus abyssus (Grand Canyon Rattlesnake) and its Effects on Systemic Blood Pressure and Nitrite Levels
(SPRINGER, 2011)
Studies on the therapeutic potential of venom peptides have significantly advanced the development of new peptide drugs. A good example is captopril, a synthetic peptide drug, which acts as an anti-hypertensive and ...
Alterations in cyclic GMP levels in preeclampsia may reflect increased B-type natriuretic peptide levels and not impaired nitric oxide activity
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2011)
Objectives: We compared nitrite, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and cGMP levels in preeclamptic with those found in healthy pregnant. Methods: We studied 21 healthy pregnant and 27 preeclamptic. Plasma cGMP and BNP ...
B-type natriuretic peptide as a predictor of anterior wall location in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2011)
OBJECTIVE: Involvement of the left ventricular anterior wall in ST-elevation myocardial infarction has a worse prognosis compared with other regions. In non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, noninvasive methods of locating ...
