Natriuretic peptides

Natriuretic peptides. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. In cardiac myocytes cyclic GMP is produced by soluble and particulate guanylyl cyclases, the former stimulated by nitric oxide and the latter by natriuretic peptides, and is hydrolyzed to inactive 5-GMP by cyclic GMP phosphodiesterases, cyclic GMP and protein kinase G modulate cardiac contractility, hypertrophy and remodeling and exert cardioprotection, recent studies have revealed that cyclic GMP degradation controlled by phosphodiesterases plays a critical role in the physiological action of cyclic GMP, and several clinical trials are ongoing including a large multicenter trial led by the NIH evaluating sildenafil efficacy in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
