Abstract
In an attempt to identify and quantify the sites of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) degradation, a new tracer experiment has been developed. 125I-ANP was injected as a bolus just upstream from the right atrium, and blood was sampled from two different sites (pulmonary artery and aorta) in eight cardiac patients. Data were analyzed using a physiologically based circulatory model consisting of three blocks in series (right heart, lungs and left heart, and periphery) supplied by the same flow (cardiac output, measured by thermodilution); the extraction coefficients of the three blocks and of the whole body could be determined from the areas under tracer concentration curves in plasma (AUCs). The values for AUCs (means +/- SD) were 64.8 +/- 9.4 and 65.5 +/- 10.7% dose.l-1.min-1 for pulmonary artery and aorta curves, respectively; the area under the pulmonary artery curve could be subdivided into the area under the first-pass curve (30.6 +/- 4.7% dose. l-1.min-1) and the area under the recirculating curve (34.0 +/- 7.7% dose.l-1.min-1). The metabolic clearance rate of 125I-ANP, computed as dose divided by the area under the recirculating curve, was 3.1 +/- 0.7 l/min, and the whole body extraction was 47.6 +/- 6.6%. In our patients ...Continue Reading
