May link sympathetic activity to ANP release; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Do adrenaline and noradrenaline infusions affect atrial natriuretic peptide levels in normal subjects and patients with essential hypertension?
Adrenaline and noradrenaline infusions increase ANP levels, suggesting sympathetic nervous system activity may regulate ANP release via adrenoceptor stimulation.
Tunny et al. (1988) studied Essential hypertension and normal subjects. Adrenaline and noradrenaline infusion was evaluated on Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels. Adrenaline and noradrenaline infusions significantly increased atrial natriuretic peptide levels in both normal subjects and patients with essential hypertension.
