1. The pathophysiologic role of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in genetic hypertension was investigated in 5- and 21-week-old genetically hypertensive (LH), normotensive (LN) and low blood pressure (LL) rats of the Lyon strain. 2. Plasma ANF was significantly higher in 5-week-old LH than in age-matched LN and LL animals. It tended to be lower in 21-week-old LH than in LN rats. 3. Left and right atrial ANF content was also significantly lower at 21 weeks in the LH group. 4. Glomerular ANF receptors showed a significant decrease in LH in comparison to LL and LN animals.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D009320 Atrial Natriuretic Factor A potent natriuretic and vasodilatory peptide or mixture of different-sized low molecular weight PEPTIDES derived from a common precursor and secreted mainly by the HEART ATRIUM. All these peptides share a sequence of about 20 AMINO ACIDS.
