Acute ANP raises adiponectin in healthy men; leaves open cardiometabolic relevance or therapeutic targeting.
Does intravenous atrial natriuretic peptide infusion acutely increase adiponectin levels in healthy men?
Intravenous ANP infusion acutely increases systemic total and high molecular-weight adiponectin concentrations in healthy men, suggesting a physiological link between natriuretic peptides and insulin sensitivity.
Birkenfeld et al. (2012) studied this question.
