Abstract excerpt
The sympatholytic properties of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) contribute to its vasodilatory and natriuretic effects. High circulating catecholamine levels, along with renal dysfunction, present in proANP gene-disrupted (-/-) mice are thought to contribute to the hypertension characteristic of this model. To further understand the mechanism by which the absence of ANP leads to stimulation of sympathetic...
