## 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
It is known that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is synthesized, stored and released from the myocytes of mammalian heart, but the role of cardiac autonomic nerves in triggering the release of ANP has not been fully assessed. We have therefore measured plasma ANP concentrations in the right atrium
