Suppresses aldosterone in normal-sodium rats without immediate clinical implications; leaves open translation to human heart failure or hypertension.
Does synthetic atrial natriuretic factor reduce aldosterone secretion in rats?
Synthetic ANF decreases aldosterone secretion in rats, likely indirectly via inhibition of renin release at physiological doses, and directly at higher doses.
Vari et al. (1986) studied this question.
