Abstract
To investigate the involvement of thyroid hormone on the release of atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP), we have measured immunoreactive ANP in the atria and plasma of experimental hyperthyroid and hypothyroid rats. Plasma ANP was higher (p less than 0.05) in hyperthyroid rats and was lower (p less than 0.05) in hypothyroid rats than in euthyroid rats. ANP content and concentration in the atria were lower (p less than 0.01) in hyperthyroid rats than in hypothyroid rats. An inverse correlation was found between the plasma ANP and ANP concentration in the atria (n = 15, r = 0.60, p less than 0.01). The results indicate an increased systemic release of ANP from the atria in hyperthyroidism and a decreased systemic release in hypothyroidism.Entities:
