1 | Because atrial natriuretic factor (Atriopeptin II, ANF) exerts potent effects on Na+ transport in a number of tissues, we examined its influence on 22Na+-uptake in isolated rabbit aorta segments and the possible relation to ANF-induced vasorelaxation. | Sodium-22 | natriuretic peptides A | Oryctolagus cuniculus |
2 | ANF increased 22Na+-uptake by 44% with an EC50 of 12 nM whereas sodium nitroprusside was without effect. | Sodium-22 | natriuretic peptides A | Oryctolagus cuniculus |
3 | These results suggest that ANF activation of EIPA-sensitive 22Na+-uptake occurs before cGMP formation perhaps at the level of the ANF receptor itself. | Sodium-22 | natriuretic peptides A | Oryctolagus cuniculus |
