One of the most potent stimuli for ANP secretion is the endothelial cell derived peptide, endothelin-1. Lew and Baertschi [37,38] demonstrated this important relationship by co-culturing cardiac myocytes and endothelial cells, which resulted in enhanced ANP secretion. Fukuda et al.
Atrial natriuretic peptide or atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a hormone secreted from cells in the right atrium of the heart when right atrial pressure increases. The release of this cardiac peptide is stimulated by increases in the stretch of the atrial wall caused by an increase in blood pressure or blood volume. ANF receptors are also stimulated by elevated sodium levels.
