NEP inhibition potentiates ANP effects in hypertensive rats; leaves open translation to human therapy.
Does the NEP inhibitor SQ 29,072 improve the depressor response to ANP in conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats?
The NEP inhibitor SQ 29,072 significantly potentiates the depressor response to ANP in conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats, suggesting that NEP inactivates ANP in vivo.
