Abstract
The recent demonstration of the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) within the brain has been extended in the present study by the additional localization of ANF-like activity in the peripheral nervous structures. Using a sensitive radioimmunoassay, it was possible to detect ANF-like immunoreactive peptide(s) in crude and chromatographically separated extracts of parasympathetic rat ganglia. The partially purified ANF-like peptide exhibited a biological action similar to cardiac ANF. This finding supports a possible involvement of ANF in the regulation of both, central and peripheral neuronal activities.Entities:
