Myocardial stretch stimulates ANP and BNP secretion from hypertrophic ventricular myocytes, a process that appears to involve protein kinase-C but not extracellular calcium influx.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Does not support clinical practice changes; leaves open PKC role in human ventricular peptide release.
Kinnunen et al. (1993) studied this question.
