If the information on this page can help prevent the loss of a sheep to bloat, it will have been worth my time to put this information here. In the simplest of explanations, bloat is an excess of gases in the rumen of sheep.
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a hormone, produced mainly by cardiomyocytes, with a major role in cardiovascular homeostatic mechanisms such as natriuresis and vasodilation, which serve to regulate blood pressure.
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH), or atriopeptin, is a powerful vasodilator, and a polypeptide hormone secreted by heart muscle cells. It is involved in the homeostatic control of body water, sodium, potassium and fat (adipose tissue).trial natriuretic peptide (ANP), atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH), or atriopeptin, is a powerful vasodilator, and a polypeptide hormone secreted by heart muscle cells.
