Foramen magnum stenosis and midface hypoplasia in C-type natriuretic peptide-deficient rats and restoration by the administration of human C-type natriuretic peptide with 53 amino acids.

Foramen magnum stenosis and midface hypoplasia in C-type natriuretic peptide-deficient rats and restoration by the administration of human C-type natriuretic peptide with 53 amino acids.

C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP)-knockout (KO) rats exhibit impaired skeletal growth, with long bones shorter than those in wild-type (WT) rats. This study compared craniofacial morphology in the CNP-KO rat with that in the Spontaneous Dwarf Rat (SDR), a growth hormone (GH)-deficient model. The effe...
