Key result
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) exerts a tonic vasodilatory effect and antagonizes the renin-angiotensin system to maintain chronic blood pressure homeostasis in mouse models.

ANP plays a crucial role in chronic blood pressure regulation and sodium homeostasis, suggesting its deficiency may contribute to sodium-retaining disorders.
Recent findings in atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) transgenic and gene knockout mouse models uncovered a tonic vasodilatory effect of this hormone that contributes to chronic blood pressure homeostasis. With elevated salt intake, ANP-mediated antagonism of the renin-angiotensin system is essential for blood pressure constancy, suggesting that a deficiency in ANP activity may underlie the etiology of sodium-retaining disorders.
