Implication
No immediate clinical impact from this animal study; leaves open the role of the shared precursor in human cardiovascular regulation.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Rat heart atria and porcine peptide (cardiodilatin)
I
Intervention
Peptide purification and amino acid sequencing
O
Outcome
Amino acid sequence determination and homology analysis
This basic science study provides early evidence that atrial natriuretic factor and cardiodilatin are derived from a common precursor molecule, atrial pronatriodilatin.
