## Abstract Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) might be of importance during heart development and is described to be increasingly expressed in congestive heart failure and to affect the progress of this condition. However, details in the normal expression of BNP are still unclear in various parts of

Plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide, a recently identified cardiac hormone with natriuretic activity, were measured in 11 healthy subjects, 13 cirrhotic patients without ascites, 18 nonazotemic cirrhotic patients with ascites and 6 patients with cirrhosis, ascites and functional kidney failur
## Abstract The present study examined whether natriuretic peptide expression in the scar of postβmyocardial infarcted (MI) rats was derived at least in part by residing myofibroblasts. ANP and BNP mRNA levels were significantly increased in the nonβinfarcted left ventricle and scar of 1βweek postβ
We have previously used immunohistochemistry to show that the brain of the hagfish, Myxine glutinosa, contains a rich distribution of natriuretic peptide-immunoreactive elements with the densest distribution occurring in the telencephalon and the diencephalon. In this study, the distribution of 125
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
A distinct distributional pattern of natriuretic peptide receptors has been demonstrated by in vitro quantitative autoradiography in the heart of Anguilla anguilla where saturable, stable, and specific binding sites for rat atrial natriuretic peptide in atrium, ventricle, and bulbus arteriosus have
