Antimitogenic effects of atrial peptides depend on smooth muscle cell phenotype; hypothesis-generating for vascular biology but should not yet change practice.
The antimitogenic effectiveness of atrial natriuretic peptides in aortic smooth muscle cells is dependent on the phenotypic state of the cells, driven by increased expression of ANF-C-type receptors during subculture.
Cahill et al. (1993) studied this question.
