Biologically Active Atrial Peptides
This volume presents the proceedings of the First World Congress on Biologically Active Atrial Peptides, held May 31 – June 1, 1986, in New York City. It provides comprehensive coverage of the discovery, molecular structure, biosynthesis, receptors, and intracellular signaling mechanisms of atrial natriuretic peptides. The book also examines their cardiovascular, renal, endocrine, and pathophysiological roles, with particular emphasis on natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation, and the regulation of blood pressure and electrolyte balance. The work includes extensive bibliographical references and an index, making it a key reference in cardiovascular and renal physiology research.
