Abstract

Atrial (ANP), brain (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) belong to a family of hormones important in blood pressure and sodium homeostasis. Expression of ANP has been reported in embryo hearts, but BNP and CNP expression during development has not been described. We used in situ hybridization to identify the sites of gene expression of ANP, BNP, and CNP during development in mouse embryos at daily intervals from midgestation. Very intense expression of ANP and BNP was visible in the heart from 9.5 days gestation; levels of expression of both peptides in the ventricle exceeded those in atria throughout gestation. There was a major peak of atrial and ventricular ANP and BNP expression at 12.5 days, attaining levels similar to those in adult heart and then declining until birth. Cardiac expression of CNP was undetectable. Expression of ANP and CNP was also observed in distinct sites in the brain, and all three peptides were expressed in the spinal cord. In mouse placenta, strong CNP expression was seen in the decidua basalis around the large maternal blood vessels, and BNP message was detected at the peripheral margin of the decidual layer. This pattern of expression indicates that ANP and CNP are present during development...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
