Effect of blood volume expansion and sympathetic denervation on plasma levels of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in the rat

In order to investigate the possible role of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), in some aspects of circulatory homeostasis, the authors analysed plasma concentrations of ANF during acute volume expansion and sympathetic denervation in the rat. In this context, ANF refers to several bioactive polypepti...

Description
Summary:In order to investigate the possible role of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), in some aspects of circulatory homeostasis, the authors analysed plasma concentrations of ANF during acute volume expansion and sympathetic denervation in the rat. In this context, ANF refers to several bioactive polypeptides in the plasma of a variety of mammalian species.
