Supports proANP-(1-30) role in rat renal excretion; hypothesis-generating with translation to humans left open.
Does proANP-(1-30) play a physiological role in regulating renal excretion in rats?
The rat sequence of proANP-(1-30) produces natriuresis and diuresis independent of hemodynamics and cGMP, suggesting a physiological role in regulating renal excretion.
Dietz et al. (2001) studied this question.
