Description and Table of Contents
Description
Discusses the discovery, biochemical characterization and development of the clinical uses of atrial natriuretic peptide. This book includes coverage of molecular biology, biosynthesis, metabolism, ANP receptors, the endocrine, cardiovascular and renal actions of ANP, haemodynamic effects, the mode of action of ANP, and the effects of ANP in edematous states and hypertension. This book may prove to be of interest to nephrologists, renal medicine specialists, cardiologists, endocrinologists, biochemists, and peptide chemists.
