Specific alpha-rat atrial natriuretic peptide(1-28) [ANF-(99-126)] (rANP) binding sites in the choroid plexus of rats with kaolin-induced hydrocephalus were analyzed following incubation of related tissue sections with 125I-rANP, then using autoradiography and an image analysis coupled with computer-assisted micro-densitometry. The number of 125I-rANP binding sites in the choroid plexus of these rats was significantly higher, as compared to findings in the control rats, whereas no differences in the binding affinity were observed, 3 days and 3 weeks after the intracisternal injection of kaolin. The possibility that atrial natriuretic peptide may play a significant role in the function of cerebrospinal fluid production by interacting with specific, high affinity receptors in the rat choroid plexus has to be considered.

D007616 Kaolin The most common mineral of a group of hydrated aluminum silicates, approximately H2Al2Si2O8-H2O. It is prepared for pharmaceutical and medicinal purposes by levigating with water to remove sand, etc. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) The name is derived from Kao-ling (Chinese: "high ridge"), the original site. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Kaolinite
