ANP natriuresis mechanisms remain preclinical; leaves open translation to human sodium handling.
Does ANP infusion affect sodium delivery and reabsorption in the terminal collecting duct in rats?
This preclinical study demonstrates that ANP induces natriuresis by both increasing sodium delivery to and inhibiting sodium reabsorption in the terminal collecting duct.
Stolpe et al. (1988) studied this question.
