Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a fluid-regulating peptide hormone that promotes vasorelaxation, natriuresis, and diuresis. The mechanisms for the release of ANP and for its clearance from the circulation play important roles in modulating its biological effects. Recently, we have reported that

β¦ Synopsis
to brain microvessels, the resultant increase in cGMP (Charbrier et al., 1987(Charbrier et al., , 1988;; Steardo and Nathanson, 19871, and the 5,000-fold greater surface area of the brain microvessels as compared to regions not protected by the BBB (Pardridge et al., 1986) suggest a physiologically significant role for circulating ANP in the fluid homeostasis of the brain.
Receptors for ANP have been identified in several cell and tissue types, including endothelial cells

## Abstract Inactivation of circulating atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) by specialized clearance (C) receptors has been characterized in mammals but has not been examined in fish. In the present study arterial blood pressure, urine flow, and urine electrolytes were measured in chronically cannula
To investigate whether atrial natriuretic factor regulates the growth of hepatocytes and to determine the receptor subtype involved in such modulation, we studied the effect of atrial natriuretic factor 103-126 and clearance receptor binding analogs of atrial natriuretic factor, (des-(Qfl6, S117, G1
