To study the influence of age on the kinetics of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in man, human (99-126) ANP 2.0 micrograms.min-1 was infused IV for 60 min in 8 healthy young (18 to 25 y) and 9 healthy elderly (71 to 84 y) subjects. Both baseline ANP values and the levels at the end of infusion were

✦ Synopsis
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a clinically useful anti-hypertensive hormone. Maleimide derivatives of ANP have been synthesized and conjugated to cysteine-34 of human serum albumin. The conjugates were analyzed to assess their stability, receptor binding affinity and ability to stimulate guanylyl-cyclase activity in rat lung fibroblasts.

Raised plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) have been reported in patients with Type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus (DM) who have poor glycaemic control and are associated with the presence of microalbuminuria. To test the hypothesis that elevations in plasma ANP concen
