Does low-dose atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) infusion affect renal function and aldosterone secretion in sodium-depleted normal men?
Low-dose ANH infusion significantly increases urine flow and sodium excretion while suppressing plasma renin activity and aldosterone in sodium-depleted normal men, highlighting its physiological role in renal and hormonal regulation.
Yoram Shenker (1988) studied this question.
