Epinephrine may stimulate ANP release via beta-receptors in humans; leaves open physiological and clinical relevance pending larger studies.
Does epinephrine increase plasma immunoreactive atrial natriuretic hormone levels in normal human subjects?
Epinephrine increases plasma immunoreactive atrial natriuretic hormone levels through beta-adrenergic mechanisms in humans.
Sanfield et al. (1987) studied this question.
