Abstract In the initial experiments reviewed here, we show that atrial natriuretic peptide ANP plays an important inhibitory role in the control of sodium chloride and water intake since injections of ANP into the third ventricle 3V caused a reduction in dehydration-induced drinking and also the drinking of salt in salt-depleted rats.

This may be attributed to a reduction of the spontaneous food intake and activity during the dark period in comparison to the light period, due to a reduction in the alphaadrenoreceptors in PVN, as shown by Bhakthavatsalam and Leibowitz 42 and Jhanwar-Uniyal et al. We do not know whether a stimulating effect of glucocorticoids on the genic transcription of ANP contributes to the evening ANP peak and is eventually suppressed by adrenalectomy ADX.

It is interesting that this feedback mechanism uses the same type II receptor that mediates the high food intake occurring at the onset of darkness, which is abolished by ADX and restored by corticosterone The interaction between insulin and corticosteroid serves as a peripheral hormonal feedback loop that regulates the well-known NPYergic feeding and fasting system, but if plasma insulin levels were elevated in an attempt to increase CNS insulin levels in the hope of observing a consequent decrease in food intake the resulting hypoglycemia would elicit an emergency increase in food intake Similarly, if plasma ANP levels were increased to the high levels needed to inhibit the HPA-A, the resulting hypotension could have a stimulatory effect.

Therefore, central ANP sites PVN, arcuate nucleus, perifornical lateral hypothalamus, AV3V, subfornical organ, supraoptic nucleus may act as integrating sites of a complex system that couples feeding, HPA-A, physical activities and cardiovascular status. Corticosteroids and insulin may act as peripheral signals, and the locus ceruleus, nucleus tractus solitarius and dorsomedial nucleus as intermediate stations.

The activation of noradrenergic and serotonergic pathways may be involved, but the nature of other interactions and peptides deserves further study. The authors thank Miss Ana Cristina C.

Oliveira J. Antunes-Rodrigues J. Gutkowska A. Leal L. Elias A. The role of ANP must be understood within a context of peripheral and central interactions involving different peptides and pathways atrial natriuretic peptide; corticosterone; ACTH; food restriction.

Key words: atrial natriuretic peptide, corticosterone, ACTH, food restriction A factor, at the beginning The discovery of a natriuretic factor from cardiac atria 1,2 led to further characterization of a complex natriuretic hormonal system, including a amino acid prohormone synthesized within myocytes of the heart and stored in granules for release into the circulation.

Atrial, but not only atrial ANP has been identified in many different tissues and may have several important physiological functions other than natriuresis and vasodilation. Natriuretic, but where? And what else? Diurnal ANP variations and food restriction Because rats drink when they eat and eat when they drink, restriction of water or food effectively restricts consumption of both ANP, a feeding-related peptide?

Hair J. Inglis G. Atrial natriuretic peptide ANP is a amino acid peptide that is synthesized, stored, and released by atrial myocytes in response to atrial distension, angiotensin II stimulation, endothelin , and sympathetic stimulation beta-adrenoceptor mediated. Therefore, elevated levels of ANP are found during hypervolemic states elevated blood volume , such as occurs in heart failure. ANP is the biologically active peptide. A second natriuretic peptide brain-type natriuretic peptide ; BNP is a amino acid peptide that is synthesized largely by the ventricles as well as in the brain where it was first identified.

The cGMP serves as a second messenger for the cellular actions of natriuretic peptides. Neutral endopeptidase NEP; also called neprilysin is a circulating enzyme that degrades natriuretic peptides.

Therefore, inhibition of this enzyme e. Natriuretic peptides NPs are involved in the long-term regulation of sodium and water balance, blood volume and arterial pressure.
