Atrial natriuretic peptides negatively and positively modulate circulating endothelin in humans

Abstract

The present investigation was designed to examine the effect of four atrial peptide hormones with vasodilatory properties on the circulating immunoreactive (ir) levels of the vasoconstrictive peptide endothelin (ET) in 36 healthy human subjects. Circulating levels of human ET and cyclic guanosine monophosphate ([cGMP], a potential mediator of the effects of atrial peptides), were measured every 30 minutes during 1-hour preinfusion, 1-hour infusion, and 3-hour postinfusion periods. Atrial natriuretic factor ([ANF] amino acid (aa) 99 to 126 of the 126-aa ANF prohormone) and kaliuretic peptide (aa 79 to 98 of this same prohormone) significantly (P<.05) decreased circulating ET concentrations. Kaliuretic peptide effects were early and ANF effects were delayed until kaliuretic peptide effects began to wane. Long-acting natriuretic peptide (LANP), consisting of aa 1 to 30 of the ANF prohormone, on the other hand, significantly (P<.05) increased ET circulating concentrations during a 1-hour infusion period. The increase in ET in the circulation secondary to LANP became nonsignificant, although it was still elevated, within 30 minutes of ceasing LANP infusion. Vessel dilator, consisting of aa 31 to 67 of the ANF prohormone, and infusio...Continue Reading
