Brain natriuretic peptide : possible role in the modulation of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension

The hypothesis that brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) might play a role complementary to that of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in regulating pulmonary vascular responses is explored. The results of the study support a role for BNP in modulating the pulmonary hypertensive response to chronic hypoxia...
