1. This study was designed to investigate the effects of intracerebroventricular or intravenous atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on plasma arginine-vasopressin (AVP) levels, plasma renin activity (PRA), blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in conscious rats. 2. No changes were observed in plasma AVP levels and PRA after intracerebroventricular injection of ANP (0.3 nmol/kg). Also no changes were found in BP and HR after intracerebroventricular ANP injection in the dose range 0.01–0.3 nmol/ kg. 3. No significant changes were observed in plasma AVP levels after the intravenous administration of ANP at 2.5 nmol/kg to hydrated rats or at 0.1 nmol/kg and 2.5 nmol/kg to dehydrated rats, although the larger dose was sufficient to cause a small fall in BP. 4. Even after 30 min intravenous infusion of ANP at 0.1 nmol min−1 kg−1, a dose sufficient to produce very high plasma ANP levels, no change in plasma AVP could be detected, although haemodynamic changes were observed. 5. Intravenous ANP injection (2.5 nmol/kg) inhibited basal renin secretion in hydrated rats and also inhibited renin secretion which had been stimulated by prior dehydration. 6. From these studies in hydrated and dehydrated rats, there was no evidence that either intracerebroventricular or intravenous ANP administration affected AVP release in vivo.

1. Eight normal volunteers were infused with 5% saline (5 g of NaCl/100 ml) at a rate of 0.06 ml min−1 kg−1 for 120 min to increase plasma osmolality and plasma arginine vasopressin. Human atrial natriuretic peptide (α-hANP; 100 μg) or placebo was given in random order in a double-bind cross-over design for the last 20 min of the saline infusion. 2. Compared with the placebo infusion, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) produced a 43% greater sodium excretion and a 34% greater urinary volume in the subsequent hour. 3. Mean plasma immunoreactive ANP did not increase in response to changes in osmolality and rose to a peak of 118 pg/ml during the α-hANP infusion. α-hANP produced significant suppression of mean plasma arginine vasopressin over the 60 min after the infusions. 4. We conclude that ANP is not released in response to increased osmolality in vivo, and that it inhibits osmolality-induced arginine vasopressin release in man.

To evaluate the role of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in exercise-related cardiovascular and hormonal adjustments in hypobaric conditions, 14 young athletes performed a maximal ergometer test in a hypobaric chamber adjusted to simulate the altitudes of sea level and 3,000 m. Plasma immunoreactive ANP levels rose from 5.89 to 35.1 pmol/l at sea level and rose significantly less (P less than 0.05), from 5.36 to 22.3 pmol/l, at simulated 3,000 m. Plasma immunoreactive amino-terminal peptide of proANP (NT-proANP) levels increased to the same extent at sea level and at simulated 3,000 m (from 240 to 481 pmol/l and from 257 to 539 pmol/l, respectively). Plasma immunoreactive aldosterone increased significantly less at simulated 3,000 m (P less than 0.05), but the changes in plasma renin were similar in both conditions. Plasma immunoreactive endothelin-1 and serum erythropoietin levels remained unchanged. In conclusion, we found a blunted ANP response to maximal exercise of ANP in acute hypobaric exposure compared with that in normobaric conditions, but no significant difference in the NT-proANP responses between the two conditions. The divergence may be due to stimulation of the elimination mechanism of ANP.

1. To assess the threshold dose for bioactivity of brain natriuretic peptide and the role of endopeptidase 24.11 in metabolism of brain natriuretic peptide at physiological plasma levels, we studied eight normal men receiving 2 h infusions of low-dose brain natriuretic peptide [0.25 and 0.5 pmol min−1 kg−1 with and without pretreatment with an endopeptidase inhibitor (SCH 32615, 250 mg intravenously)] in placebo-controlled studies. 2. Plasma brain natriuretic peptide increased 2-fold during the infusion of 0.25 pmol min−1 kg−1 (mean increment above control 3.9 pmol/l, P < 0.001), and tripled (P < 0.001) with 0.5 pmol min−1 kg−1. Plasma renin activity was inhibited by both doses (14.8%, P < 0.01, and 20%, P < 0.001, respectively). A significant natriuresis (56% increase in urine sodium/creatinine ratio, P < 0.02) occurred with the higher dose. Blood pressure, haematocrit, plasma cGMP, atrial natriuretic peptide and aldosterone were unaffected by either dose. 3. Compared with brain natriuretic peptide (0.5 pmol min−1 kg−1) alone, SCH 32615 pretreatment increased peak plasma brain natriuretic peptide (13.4±0.78 versus 12.4±0.86 pmol/l, P < 0.05), ANP (7.5±0.96 versus 5.9±0.4 pmol/l, P < 0.01) and cGMP (4.8 ± 1.7 versus 3.9 ± 1.4 nmol/l, P < 0.001). Plasma renin activity was further suppressed with SCH 32615 pretreatment (29% compared with 20%, P < 0.001). 4. Small acute increments in plasma brain natriuretic peptide (4 pmol/l) have significant biological effects in normal men without altering plasma atrial natriuretic peptide or cGMP.

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) may suppress vasopressin release, but the dynamics of this interaction as well as the influence of age have not been defined. We studied six or seven young (19-40 yr old) and seven elderly volunteers (65-83 yr old) under two circumstances: 1) after infusion of 5% saline (0.04 ml.kg-1.min-1) for 2 h and 2) after the same infusion given with simultaneous synthetic human ANP (0.05 micrograms.kg-1.min-1). Hypertonic saline alone produced a progressive rise in plasma vasopressin with increasing serum sodium. During hypertonic saline alone, vasopressin levels began to rise at an increment in serum sodium of 1.67 +/- 0.35 mM in the young and 1.43 +/- 0.32 mM in the elderly and rose linearly with increasing serum sodium. When ANP was infused with hypertonic saline (with peak ANP levels of approximately 1,000 pM), vasopressin levels began to rise at an increment in serum sodium of 4.43 +/- 0.67 mM in the young and 4.57 +/- 0.43 mM in the elderly (P less than 0.01 vs. saline alone). Furthermore, the vasopressin response for any given serum sodium was significantly reduced in both young and elderly subjects, resulting in a rightward displacement of the curve relating vasopressin response to sodium concentration (P less than 0.001). In conclusion, ANP not only suppresses vasopressin but raises the threshold for release of vasopressin in response to osmotic stimulation in both young and elderly individuals. High circulating ANP levels may be responsible in part for the suppression of vasopressin levels and water diuresis seen during states of volume expansion.

Cytochrome P450 (CYP)-derived epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) have potent vasodilatory and diuretic feature, and therefore potentially hypotensive effect. No in vivo studies, however, were performed to support it. This study investigated the hypothesis via overexpressing CYP epoxygense genes in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Recombinant adeno-associated virus vector (rAAV) was utilized to mediate long-term transfection of CYP2J2 and CYP2C11 genes, respectively, in adult SHR, and animal systolic blood pressure (SBP) was monitored using arterial caudilis indirect manometric method. Results showed that at 2 months the urinary excretion of stable hydrolysis metabolic product of 14, 15-EE, 14–15-DHET increased by 11 and 8.7 folds in rAAV-2J2 and rAAV-2C11 groups, respectively, compared with AAV-GFP-treated rats. (2) SBP in 2J2- and 2C11-treated rats decreased from 175.0 ± 2.8mHg to 163.5 ± 5.8mmHg and 161.2 ± 6.1 mmHg, respectively, ( p <0.01) at month 2, and it is 165.0 ± 4.7 mmHg and 173.0 ± 12.8 mmHg at month 6 after gene injection (~30mmHg and ~23mmHg lowerer than that in control animals, respectively, p <0.001). (3) Before the rats were sacrificed, cardiac function tests with Pressure-Volume System showed that maximum intracardiac pressure was 202.1 ± 30.0 & 209.1 ± 17.1mmHg in two gene-treated rats, respectively, significantly lower than control (241.2 ± 18.2mmHg, p <0.01) and cardiac output in treatment rats were significantly higher than control (p<0.05). (4) Interestingly, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) mRNA were up-regulated 6–14 folds respectively in myocardium of 2J2 and 2C11 groups; furthermore, C-type receptor mRNA of ANP was increased in heart, lung, kidney and aorta. (5) in cultured atrial cells (HLB2G5), exogenous EETs stimulated ANP production. In conclusions, for first time our data indicates overexpression of CYP2J2 or CYP2C11 could prevent development of hypertension in SHR, improve cardiac functions, which may involve up-regulating ANP expression and its receptors in target tissues, which suppresses collagen deposition and cardiovascular remodeling.
