What Is The Role Of Natriuretic Peptides? Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain (B-type) natriuretic peptide (BNP) are circulating hormones of cardiac origin that play an important role in the regulation of intravascular blood volume and vascular tone. What does the release of natriuretic peptide from the heart do? The release of these peptides by

What Is The Mechanism Of Atrial Natriuretic Hormone? Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) acts acutely to reduce plasma volume by at least 3 mechanisms: increased renal excretion of salt and water, vasodilation, and increased vascular permeability. What does atrial natriuretic factor do? Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a 28 amino acid polypeptide hormone secreted mainly by
