Concept
Natriuretic Peptide Family 0
The Natriuretic Peptide Family comprises a group of hormones that play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure, fluid balance, and cardiovascular homeostasis through their actions on the kidneys and blood vessels. These peptides, including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), are released in response to cardiac wall stress and contribute to the body's response to heart failure and hypertension.
