Highlights cGMP-independent natriuresis by proANF 31-67 in rats; leaves open relevance to human heart failure therapies.
Both ANF and proANF 31-67 induce natriuresis via a tubular mechanism, but only ANF's effects appear mediated by cGMP and are associated with decreased arterial pressure.
Dietz et al. (1994) studied this question.
