Identification of Genes Associated with the Endocrine Heart under Normal and Pathophysiological Conditions Using Genomic and Transcriptional Analysis
The endocrine heart synthesises and secretes two polypeptide hormones: the natriuretic peptides (NP) atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). The biological actions of these hormones serve both acutely and chronically to reduce systemic blood pressure and hemodynamic loa...
