ANP tracks acute volume shifts in normals; hypothesis-generating for its homeostatic role without supporting clinical adoption.
Do acute volume expansion and contraction affect plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide in normal subjects?
Plasma ANP levels respond dynamically to acute changes in central blood volume in humans, supporting its physiological role in volume homeostasis.
Finn et al. (1988) studied this question.
