The effect of adenosine on atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) release was studied in the perfused rat heart model. Adenosine had no effect on the heart rate of the spontaneously beating heart at a concentration of 1 microM, whereas at concentrations of 10 and 100 microM it dose-dependently decreased the frequency by 17 and 55% (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively). In the spontaneously beating hearts, immunoreactive ANP release was inhibited by adenosine at concentrations of 10 and 100 microM (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01). When heart rate was maintained constant by external pacing, inhibition of ANP release was observed only with 100 microM adenosine (P < 0.01). The results show that adenosine dose-dependently inhibits ANP release from the perfused rat heart. The effect of adenosine on ANP release was partially due to its negative chronotropic effect but the results suggest that adenosine may also have a direct inhibitory effect on ANP release in atrial myocardium.

Luteolin is widely distributed phytochemical, a flavonoid, in kingdom plantae. Luteolin with potential antioxidant activity prevent ROS-induced damages and reduce oxidative stress which is mainly responsible in pathogenesis of many diseases. Several chemo preventive activities and therapeutic benefits are associated with luteolin.

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a circulating hormone released from the atria in response to wall stretch and volume overload in the setting of heart failure. When atrial fibrillation (AF) becomes long-standing persistent, ANP secretion in response to volume overload is impaired due to degenerative changes of the atria. Here, we report a case of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and impaired ANP secretion due to long-standing AF.

Natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A) is the principal receptor for the natriuretic peptides atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Targeted deletion of NPR-A in mouse glomerular podocytes significantly enhances renal injury in vivo in the DOCA-salt experimental model. It was therefore hypothesized that natriuretic peptides exert a direct protective effect on glomerular barrier integrity through activation of NPR-A and modulation of gene expression patterns in podocytes.

Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome (DPDS) is a rare complication of a common disease. Typically, DPDS occurs in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP), chronic pancreatitis, abdominal surgery, or trauma. We present a case of DPDS from acute non-necrotizing pancreatitis (ANNP).

Hypertension is seen in 70% of patients by the age of 30 prior to decline in kidney function. The natriuretic peptides (NPs), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), are released by cardiomyocytes in response to membrane stretch, increasing urinary excretion of sodium and water.
