The changes in plasma alpha-hANP level and the factors affecting its secretion were studied in 35 patients treated by surgery for gastrointestinal disease (laparotomy group, 17) and (non-laparotomy group, 18). They did not have any particular complication during the study period. alpha-hANP, catecholamine (CA), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), aldosterone and plasma renin activity (PRA) were determined serially before and after the surgery. Plasma alpha-hANP level elevated on the post-operative day 1 and dropped to the upper limit of the normal range by the day 3, then gradually recovered to the level of before surgery. This early elevation of alpha-hANP was more marked in the laparotomy group than in the non-laparotomy group. These change in alpha-hANP level correlated well to those of CA, but not to those of ADH, aldosterone, and PRA. Age, sex, duration of surgery, bleeding and infusion volume during surgery did not affect the difference in alpha-hANP secretion between the two groups. In conclusion, the early elevation of plasma alpha-hANP level was correlated well to the surgical stress, and that this alpha-hANP secretion might be induced by CA secretion.

Recovery from ischemic acute kidney injury requires the replacement of damaged tubular cells. This repair process involves epidermal growth factor (EGF) synthesized in medullary the thick ascending limbs (mTAL) of Henle. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a hormone synthesized by the cardiac atria, increases glomerular filtration rate and renal medullary blood flow.

NaCl loading and plasma volume expansion stimulate 2 natriuretic systems, vasoconstrictor, digitalis-like Na/K-ATPase inhibitors and vasorelaxant ANP peptides. Several hormones, including ANP, regulate activity of the Na/K-ATPase by modulation of its phosphorylation state. We studied effects of ANP on Na/K-ATPase phosphorylation and inhibition by an endogenous sodium pump ligand, marinobufagenin, in the aorta and renal medulla from male Sprague-Dawley rats.

Background: Left ventricular aneurysm repair (LVR) reduces LV wall stress and improves LV function. However, as we reported previously, the initial improvement of LVR was short-term because of LV remodeling but could be maintained longer with postoperative use of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has been used to treat patients with heart failure by natriuretic and vasodilatory actions.

Background: A reduced cardiac output in chronic heart failure (CHF) evokes renal NaCl and water retention, and, therefore, activates mechanisms promoting natriuresis. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is one such factor. We hypothesized that another NaCl sensitive endogenous natriuretic factor, i.

Using the lipid bilayer technique we have optimized recording conditions and confirmed that alpha human atrial natriuretic peptide [alpha-hANP(1-28)] forms single ion channels. The single channel currents recorded in 250/50 mM KCl cis/trans chambers show that the ANP-formed channels were heterogeneous, and differed in their conductance, kinetic, and pharmacological properties. The ANP-formed single channels were grouped as: (i) H202- and Ba2+-sensitive channel with fast kinetics; the nonlinear current-voltage (I-V) relationship of this channel had a reversal potential (Erev) of -28.
