BP primarily drives ANP release during norepinephrine infusion; leaves open relevance to hypertensive or heart-failure patients.
Does blood pressure or norepinephrine primarily drive the increase in atrial natriuretic peptide during norepinephrine infusion in healthy men?
The increase in atrial natriuretic peptide during norepinephrine infusion is driven by the resulting increase in blood pressure rather than a direct stimulatory effect of norepinephrine.
Uehlinger et al. (1987) studied this question.
