... arterial pressure. This effect contrasted with the inhibitory effect of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on drinking, which is synchronized with a vasodepressor effect. Similarly, intra-cerebroventricular injection of ghrelin also decreased the drinking rate without affecting arterial pressure. Continuous...

... in the seawater eel. The effects of eANG II, ACh and isoproterenol were dose-dependent. By contrast, water intake was inhibited by intracranial injection of eel atrial natriuretic peptide (eANP,5×10 -13 -5×10 -10 mol), serotonin (5-HT,5×10 -12 -5×10 -8 mol), ghrelin(5×10 -12 -5×10 -10 mol), γ-amino butyric acid...

... at 25°C, while at 18°C the kinase response to isoproterenol was modest. Isoproterenol effect on p38-MAPK stimulation was β-AR-mediated. Immunohistochemical studies revealed the enhanced presence of phosphorylated p38-MAPK and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in both phenylephrine- and isoproterenol...

... enhanced atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) immunoreactivity in osmotically stressed hearts. Interestingly, SB 203580 (1 μmol l –1 ) not only completely blocked the activation of p38-MAPK by all these interventions, but also abolished the enhanced ANP immunoreactivity induced by 0.5 mol l –1 sorbitol...
