Elevated alpha-hANF associates with hypertension; cross-sectional data leave its causal role open.
The development of a highly specific radioimmunoassay for alpha-hANF demonstrated that plasma levels of this peptide are detectable in normal subjects and significantly elevated in hypertensive patients.
Arendt et al. (1985) studied this question.
