Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have suggested a role of cyclic guanosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cGMP) in the differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts. We studied the effect of ANF (atrial natriuretic factor) on intracellular cGMP accumulation, cGMP efflux, and cGMP-phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity in UMR-106 osteoblast-like cells. ANF rapidly increased both intracellular cGMP and cGMP efflux. ANF-stimulated...
