Dehydration effects on ANP receptors in rats should not guide clinical care; leaves open relevance to human volume regulation or heart failure.
Dehydration down-regulates ANP receptor mRNA expression in rat glomeruli, likely driven by lower circulating ANP levels rather than increased plasma osmolality.
Itoh et al. (1999) studied this question.
