Hypothesis-generating for CC2238 alpha-ANP in endothelial dysfunction; leaves open clinical translation and requires human validation.
The CC2238 alpha-ANP variant induces ROS accumulation and impairs endothelial cell function in vitro, providing a potential mechanism for its association with increased cardiovascular risk.
Scarpino et al. (2009) studied this question.
