Abstract
The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)βsystem was examined in Rana esculenta lung with cytochemical and immunocytochemical methods. The results showed a cellular type that synthesizes the hormone and the presence of receptors in various components of the lung. The lung, therefore, produces ANP and at the same time is a target organ for the hormone. ANP may play an important physiological role in pulmonary function and in protecting against pulmonary edema.

Bodies found in water may cause problems for forensic pathologists who have to differentiate drowning from postmortem immersion or fresh from salt water drowning. The exact physiopathology of drowning is still controversial and complementary tests can not exactly establish the exact cause of death i
Background. We studied serum N-terminal atrial natriuretic peptide (NT-ANP) in children during and after chemotherapy for cancer to determine its applicability in detecting cardiac dysfunction. Forty-three patients were receiving chemotherapy for malignancy. Forty-eight patients were off chemotherap
