| Abstract | The effect of pharmacological manipulation of atriopeptin (AP) activity on sodium excretion and blood pressure was examined in the rat aortovenocaval (A-V) fistula model of cardiac failure. Introduction of an A-V shunt led to a marked and sustained elevation of plasma AP immunoreactivity and urinary cGMP levels. Further elevation of plasma AP levels by infusion of exogenous peptide induced modest increases in urinary sodium and cGMP excretion and a decrease in blood pressure but these responses were significantly attenuated compared to sham-operated animals. In contrast, low-dose infusion of M + B 22948 (a cGMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor) or thiorphan [a neutral endopeptidase (membrane metallo-endopeptidase, EC 3.4.24.11) inhibitor] induced a natriuresis in A-V fistula rats, which exceeded that seen in control animals given these compounds and matched the peak natriuresis produced in sham-operated animals by high doses of AP. In the doses used, these compounds had little effect on blood pressure. The greater renal efficacy of M + B 22948 in A-V fistula rats is consistent with postreceptor facilitation of AP activity. The effect of thiorphan on sodium excretion was accompanied by a pronounced increase in urinary cGMP and AP immunoreactivity excretion (and was attenuated by anti-AP monoclonal antibody) but could not be explained solely in terms of an increase in circulating AP levels. It is proposed that thiorphan allows filtered AP to reach renal tubule sites that are normally inaccessible to the peptide and are thus protected from down-regulation by high circulating AP levels. The implication of these observations for patients in cardiac failure is the potential for using pharmacological agents to maximize the response to endogenous AP without compromising cardiac function. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
