Substances for the effective stimulation of natriuretic peptide receptors
The natriuretic system in humans and animals comprises receptors for the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and the C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and plays an essential role in regulating blood pressure and the body's fluid balance.<br>
The natriuretic peptides which bind to the relevant receptors cause blood pressure to decrease and water excretion via urine to increase. Furthermore, they comprise direct cardioprotective and antifibrotic effects.
