Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a hormone secreted by the heart atria in response to high blood pressure, which influences kidney function to lower blood pressure.
Peptídeo natriurético atrial (ANP) é um hormônio peptídico secretado por células dos átrios do coração em resposta à alta pressão sanguínea. Os efeitos deste no rim alteram o movimento de íons e água e, assim, reduzem a pressão sanguínea.
