Abstract
The focus of this chapter is on the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) family. PDE1 is one member of the 11 PDE families (PDE 1-11). It is the only phosphodiesterase family that is calcium/calmodulin activated. As a result, whereas other families of PDEs 2-11 play a dominant role controlling basal levels of cyclic nucleotides, PDE1 is involved when intra-cellular calcium levels are elevated and, thus, has an "on demand" or activity-dependent involvement in the control of cyclic nucleotides in excitatory cells including neurons, cardiomyocytes and smooth muscle. As a Class 1 phosphodiesterase, PDE1 hydrolyzes the 3' bond of 3'-5'-cyclic nucleotides, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Here, we review evidence for this family of enzymes as drug targets for development of therapies aimed to address disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) and of degenerative diseases. The chapter includes sections on the potential for cognitive enhancement in mental disorders, as well as a review of PDE1 enzyme structure, enzymology, tissue distribution, genomics, inhibitors, pharmacology, clinical trials, and therapeutic indications. Information is taken from public databases. A number of excellent reviews of the phosphodiesterase family have been written as well as reviews of the PDE1 family. References cited here are not comprehensive, rather pointing to major reviews and key publications.

Abstract
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-C receptor activation has been shown to inhibit adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity as well as to stimulate phospholipase C (PLC) signaling pathways. The present studies were undertaken to investigate whether ANP-C receptor-mediated decreased cAMP levels contribute to the activation of PLC signaling. C-ANP(4-23) [des(Gln(18),Ser(19), Glu(20),Leu(21),Gly(22))ANP(4-23)-NH(2)], a ring-deleted peptide of ANP that interacts specifically with ANP-C receptor, stimulated inositol 1,4,5-tris-phosphate (IP(3)) production (PLC activity) in A10 vascular smooth muscle cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The maximal stimulation observed was about 75% at 2 h of treatment, with an apparent EC(50) of about 20 to 30 nM. Pertussis toxin treatment of the cells completely abolished the C-ANP(4-23)-mediated stimulation of IP(3) production. Forskolin (FSK), a stimulator of adenylyl cyclase, dibutyryl cAMP (db cAMP), and isoproterenol (ISO), a beta-adrenergic agonist that stimulates adenylyl cyclase activity and cAMP levels, inhibited IP(3) production by about 35, 30, and 50%, respectively, whereas dideoxyadenosine (DDA), an inhibitor of adenylyl cyclase activity, and oxotremorine stimulated IP(3) production by about 90 and 80%, respectively, in these cells, suggesting a functional interaction between these two signaling pathways. Treatment of the cells with antisense oligonucleotide of ANP-C receptor that attenuated ANP-C receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase resulted in a complete attenuation of C-ANP(4-23)-induced stimulation of IP(3) formation, whereas FSK, db cAMP, and ISO-mediated decrease and oxotremorine and endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced increase in IP(3) production was not affected by this treatment. Furthermore, C-ANP(4-23)-induced increase in IP(3) formation was significantly potentiated by DDA and inhibited by FSK and db cAMP, whereas ET-1-induced increase in IP(3) production was not affected by FSK. In addition, N-[2-(4-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinoline (H-89), an inhibitor of protein kinase A, completely abolished C-ANP(4-23) and not ET-1-induced stimulation of IP(3) production. These results indicate that ANP-C receptor activation by C-ANP(4-23) and resulting decrease in cAMP levels may be responsible for the activation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover signaling, suggesting a cross-talk between ANP-C receptor-mediated adenylyl cyclase and PLC signaling pathways.

Abstract
Targeted disruption of the gene for natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A) worsens pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy during hypoxia, but its effect on left ventricular mass and systemic pressures is not known. We examined the effect of 3 wk of hypobaric hypoxia (0.5 atm) on right and left ventricular pressure and mass in mice with 2 (wild type), 1, or 0 copies of Npr1, the gene that encodes for NPR-A in mice. Under normoxic conditions, right ventricular peak pressure (RVPP) was greater in 0 than in 2 copy mice, but there were no genotype-related differences in carotid artery PP (CAPP). The left ventricular free wall weight-to-body weight (LV/body wt) ratio was greater in 0 than in 2 copy mice and there was a trend toward a greater right ventricular weight-to-body weight (RV/body wt) ratio. Three weeks of hypoxia increased RVPP and RV/body wt in all genotypes. The increase in RVPP was similar in all genotypes (11-14 mmHg), but the hypoxia-induced increase in RV/body wt was more than twice as great in 0 copy mice than in 2 copy mice (1.11 +/- 0.06 to 2.65 +/- 0.46 vs. 0.96 +/- 0.04 to 1.4 +/- 0.09, P < 0.05). Chronic hypoxia had no effect on CAPP in any genotype and did not effect LV/body wt in 1 or 2 copy mice, but increased LV/body wt 41% in 0 copy mice. We conclude that absent expression of NPR-A worsens right ventricular hypertrophy and causes left ventricular hypertrophy during exposure to chronic hypoxia without increasing pulmonary or systemic arterial pressure responses.

Abstract
The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptor is a 130-kDa transmembrane protein containing an extracellular ANP-binding domain, a single transmembrane sequence, an intracellular kinase-homologous domain, and a guanylate cyclase (GCase) domain. We observed that the receptor, when bound with ANP, was rapidly cleaved by endogenous or exogenously added protease to yield a 65-kDa ANP-binding fragment. No cleavage occurred without bound ANP. This ligand-induced cleavage abolished GCase activation by ANP. Cleavage occurred in an extracellular, juxtamembrane region containing six closely spaced Pro residues and a disulfide bond. Such structural features are shared among the A-type and B-type ANP receptors but not by ANP clearance receptors. The potential role of the hinge structure was examined by mutagenesis experiments. Mutation of Pro(417), but not other Pro residues, to Ala abolished GCase activation by ANP. Elimination of the disulfide bond by Cys to Ser mutations yielded a constitutively active receptor. Pro(417), and Cys(423) and Cys(432) forming the disulfide bond are strictly conserved among GCase-coupled receptors, while other residues are largely variable. The conserved Pro(417) and the disulfide bond may represent a consensus signaling motif in the juxtamembrane hinge structure that undergoes a marked conformational change upon ligand binding and apparently mediates transmembrane signal transduction.

Abstract
The involvement of adenylate cyclase-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AC-cAMP) in gonadotropin-stimulated testicular steroidogenesis is well known. Little is known about the role of guanylate cyclase-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GC-cGMP) or early chloride conductance stimulated by gonadotropins in steroidogenesis. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) 1 IU/L caused significant androgen secretion without a discernible effect on cAMP production. Despite negligible intracellular cAMP, the protein kinase A inhibitor H89 blocked basal and hCG-stimulated steroidogenesis. The GC inhibitors methylene blue (MB) and LY83583 decreased androgen secretion, but hCG did not stimulate cGMP production and there was not a steroidogenic response to exogenous cGMP. A chloride-channel inhibitor, diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (DPC), at concentrations up to 0.6 mmol/L stimulated basal steroid secretion and hCG 10 IU/L stimulated cAMP production, but higher concentrations had an inhibitory effect. Substitution of chloride by gluconate enhanced basal steroid secretion, but nitrate completely abolished the effect of 1 IU/L hCG on androgen secretion, which could be partially overcome by increasing the gonadotropin concentration. In conclusion, chloride, perhaps by activating AC-cAMP, mediates the steroidogenic action of gonadotropins in mouse Leydig tumor cells (MLTC-1). Inorganic nitrate probably inhibited steroidogenesis via conversion to nitric oxide (NO) without involving the GC-cGMP pathway. Nevertheless, the results obtained with GC inhibitors suggest a role for the GC-cGMP pathway in Leydig cell steroidogenesis.

Abstract
To determine whether atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) plays a physiological role in modulating pulmonary hypertensive responses, we studied mice with gene-targeted disruption of the ANP gene under normoxic and chronically hypoxic conditions. Right ventricular peak pressure (RVPP), right ventricle weight- and left ventricle plus septum weight-to-body weight ratios [RV/BW and (LV+S)/BW, respectively], and muscularization of pulmonary vessels were measured in wild-type mice (+/+) and in mice heterozygous (+/-) and homozygous (-/-) for a disrupted proANP gene after 3 wk of normoxia or hypobaric hypoxia (0.5 atm). Under normoxic conditions, homozygous mutants had higher RVPP (22 +/- 2 vs. 15 +/- 1 mmHg; P < 0.05) than wild-type mice and greater RV/BW (1.22 +/- 0.08 vs. 0.94 +/- 0.07 and 0.76 +/- 0.04 mg/g; P < 0.05) and (LV+S)/BW (4.74 +/- 0. 42 vs. 3.53 +/- 0.14 and 3.18 +/- 0.18 mg/g; P < 0.05) than heterozygous or wild-type mice, respectively. Three weeks of hypoxia increased RVPP in heterozygous and wild-type mice and increased RV/BW and RV/(LV+S) in all genotypes compared with their normoxic control animals but had no effect on (LV+S)/BW. After 3 wk of hypoxia, homozygous mutants had higher RVPP (29 +/- 3 vs. 23 +/- 1 and 22 +/- 2 mmHg; P < 0.05), RV/BW (2.03 +/- 0.14 vs. 1.46 +/- 0.04 and 1.33 +/- 0.08 mg/g; P < 0.05), and (LV+S)/BW (4.76 +/- 0.23 vs. 3.82 +/- 0.09 and 3.44 +/- 0.14 mg/g; P < 0.05) than heterozygous or wild-type mice, respectively. The percent muscularization of peripheral pulmonary vessels was greater in homozygous mutants than that in heterozygous or wild-type mice under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. We conclude that endogenous ANP plays a physiological role in modulating pulmonary arterial pressure, cardiac hypertrophy, and pulmonary vascular remodeling under normoxic and hypoxic conditions.

Abstract
In the anterior pituitary, cGMP is produced in response to a number of stimuli, but intracellular events distal to cGMP production are obscure. Since cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) is a major effector of cGMP actions in other tissues we have determined whether PKG and its specific substrates might be present and responsive to external signals in the ovine anterior pituitary. Photoaffinity labelling with [32P]cGMP revealed a specific 78 kDa protein in ovine anterior pituitary that comigrated with purified bovine lung PKG-I. PKG in protein extracts from anterior pituitary or cultured anterior pituitary cells was enriched by DEAE ion-exchange chromatography and assayed for activity. Both tissue and cultured cells had a relatively high PKG activity by comparison with aortic smooth muscle (known high activity) and brain (known low activity). Subcellular distribution studies showed that in anterior pituitary, aortic and brain, PKG activity was present in both cytosol and triton-extracted membrane fractions, while in platelets the activity was associated with only the membrane fraction. To determine if this PKG might be responsive to extracellular signals an activity ratio assay was used. Incubation of cultured cells with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and sodium nitroprusside, activators of membrane and cytosolic guanylate cyclases respectively, increased the activity of PKG. To determine events distal to PKG activation, a search for potential substrates of PKG was performed. Few substrates were detectable upon addition of purified PKG to tissue lysates due to the high background activity of endogenous protein kinases in the anterior pituitary. However, 19 substrates of PKG were detected in heat-stable and 14 in acid-soluble protein extracts of the anterior pituitary, in which background phosphorylation was almost abolished. After partial purification through Q-Sepharose ion-exchange chromatography some of these proteins were preferentially phosphorylated by addition of PKG-I, while the others were additionally substrates of exogenous cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) or Ca2+ and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKC). A 132-kDa substrate showed an identical phosphopeptide map to a PKG substrate previously described in vascular smooth muscle and platelets. These data demonstrate for the first time the presence of functional PKG activity and multiple PKG substrates in the anterior pituitary where they may play a role in mediating the intracellular actions of cGMP.

Abstract
1. The effect of C-terminal fragment of ANF-ANF(24-28)OH on the cardiovascular system was investigated in rats. 2. In vivo this pentapeptide caused the fall of systolic and diastolic blood pressure. 3. ANF(24-28)OH increased cardiac contraction amplitude and changed coronary outflow in vitro. 4. These experiments showed that the shorter fragment of ANF containing five amino acids: Asn24-Ser25-Phe26-Arg27-Tyr28-COOH is a bioactive substance.

Abstract
As atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is intimately involved in water and electrolyte homeostasis, dose-response studies were performed in the parotid as well as submaxillary glands of the rat with increasing doses of the atrial peptide to investigate its possible role as a sialogogic agent. Dose-response studies were also performed in both salivary glands with different pharmacological agonists known to cause salivation in the rat (methacholine, noradrenaline, isoproterenol, methoxamine and substance P) in the absence and in the presence of ANF. The atrial factor did not induce salivation 'per se' at least in the investigated doses. However, it enhanced the salivary response to methacholine, methoxamine and substance P but it did not modify the salivation induced either by noradrenaline or isoproterenol. The present results showed that ANF enhanced the salivation induced by pharmacological agents which stimulate phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis. These effects of ANF may be probably related to the activation of the non-guanylate cyclase coupled receptor which has been associated with phosphatidylinositol turnover. Nevertheless, although the atrial factor induces vasorelaxation, its enhancement of blood flow may not be the major event underlying the present results. The present work suggests a potential physiological role of ANF on the modulation of salivary secretion and provides further evidence on the rol of ANF in the regulation of body fluid homeostasis.

Abstract
The effects of the NO-donor 3-morpholinosydnonimin (SIN-1) on isometric tension, cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic GMP) accumulation and neuronal release of 3H-noradrenaline were investigated in rabbit isolated corpus cavernosum (CC), and compared to the actions of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and the cyclic GMP-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor zaprinast. SIN-1, zaprinast and SNP concentration dependently relaxed rabbit CC preparations contracted by 1 microM. phenylephrine. All the drugs were highly effective, and the order of potency was SNP > zaprinast > SIN-1. SIN-1 had a biphasic effect on contractions evoked by electrical field stimulation of nerves: at low concentrations (1 and 10 microM.), SIN-1 inhibited the contractions, while at concentrations > or = 100 microM., the contractions were again increased. There were no changes in baseline tension. Electrically evoked contractions were inhibited by zaprinast in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared with controls, 1 mM. SIN-1 caused a significant (p < 0.05) increase in both the basal efflux and in the electrically induced release of 3H from CC preparations incubated with 3H-noradrenaline. SIN-1, zaprinast and SNP increased tissue levels of cyclic GMP. There was no positive correlation between cyclic GMP accumulation and the relaxant effects of the drugs. The effects of SIN-1 and SNP on the tissue content of cyclic GMP were not significantly affected by methylene blue, an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase. It may be concluded that SIN-1, zaprinast and SNP are effective in relaxing isolated penile erectile tissue, and this effect is associated with an increase in the tissue content of cyclic GMP via pathways not sensitive to methylene blue. However, additional mechanisms beside stimulation of adrenergic neurotransmission and activation of guanylate cyclase in the smooth muscle cell seem to participate in the action of SIN-1 on rabbit penile erectile tissue.

Abstract
The nephrotic syndrome is associated with an expanded interstitial volume and edema due to sodium and water retention. The mechanisms underlying these abnormalities have been only partially clarified. Renal hypoperfusion has been considered the key event that promotes avid sodium and water reabsorption by the kidney. Hypoperfusion results from hypovolemia, a consequence of urinary protein losses and decreased oncotic pressure. However, in some patients plasma volume is normal or even increased, suggesting that in such cases the cause of sodium and water retention might be independent of systemic events and possibly originates in the kidney. Experimental evidence is now available to support this, but the intrarenal mediator(s) that promote the abnormal salt retention are still not fully clear. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which increases sodium and water excretion, has been suspected to participate in fluid retention. This is consistent with experimental and human data of a markedly blunted natriuretic and diuretic response to systemic infusion of ANP in the nephrotic syndrome. Recent studies of the mechanisms of the blunted natriuretic and diuretic response to ANP documented an increased activity of renal sympathetic nerves, but the results are controversial. The altered response to ANP also may be related to a defect in the number and affinity of receptor-binding sites for the peptide. Evidence also is available of a possible defect at the level of intracellular cyclic guanosine monophosphate, the second messenger of ANP. The gene encoding for a cyclophilin-like protein, which is increased in sodium-retaining conditions, is upregulated in the kidneys of nephrotic rats, and the infusion of ANP further increases cyclophilin-like protein mRNA. Thus, multiple factors probably act in concert to induce edema formation in the nephrotic syndrome. In this review we specifically address the tubular insensitivity to the natriuretic and diuretic action of ANP, which could be an important initiating event and could possibly contribute to sustaining the edema.

Abstract
A nonhypotensive dose of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was infused (60 pg/kg body wt per day s.c. by osmotic pump) for 25 days in 16-week-old normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKYs, n = 12) and age-matched spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs, n = 12). During the infusion period, systolic blood pressure, urinary volume, and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) excretion/12 hr were measured once a week in both groups. Then mechanical and morphological properties of the arterial wall and plasma ANP levels were assessed and compared with those from control groups of SHRs (n = 8) and WKYs (n = 8) receiving a saline vehicle. The compliance (CC) of the in situ localized carotid artery was measured for pressures ranging from 25 to 175 mm Hg under control conditions and after "poisoning" of smooth muscle tone by potassium cyanide. After pressure fixation, the medial thickness, elastin and collagen contents, and the size and number of nuclei were measured in the thoracic descending aorta. In WKYs, ANP did not modify either mechanical or structural properties of the arterial wall or biochemical parameters. Conversely, in ANP-treated SHRs, CC was significantly increased compared with untreated SHRs under basal conditions (p < 0.03) and after potassium cyanide poisoning (p < 0.02). Structural properties were also modified by ANP in SHRs, i.e., medial thickness (129.3 +/- 4.1 versus 113.1 +/- 3.3 microns, p < 0.01) and nuclear size (8.81 +/- 0.28 versus 5.52 +/- 0.20 microns 2, p < 0.0001) in untreated and treated SHRs, respectively. Furthermore, urinary volume and cGMP content were significantly increased during ANP infusion in treated SHRs (p < 0.05). The present results indicate concomitant modifications of mechanical and structural properties of the arterial wall in SHRs chronically treated with low doses of ANP. These long-term effects of ANP could be involved in the remodeling of the arterial wall observed during hypertension and could have beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases in chronic sustained hypertension.

Abstract
The ability to deform is an important feature of red blood cells (RBCs) for performing their function of oxygen delivery. Little is known about the hormonal regulation of RBC deformability. Here we report that human atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) acts directly on human RBCs leading to the elevation of local bending fluctuations of the cell membrane. These changes are accompanied by an increase in the filterability of RBCs. These ANP effects were mimicked by cyclic GMP analogues, suggesting modulation of local membrane bending fluctuations and RBC filterability via a cyclic GMP-dependent pathway. The effect of ANP on the mechanical properties of RBCs suggests that ANP may increase the passage red blood cells through capillaries resulting in an improved oxygen delivery to the tissues.

Abstract
The first human studies using relatively high-doses of ANF revealed similar effects as observed in the preceding animal reports, including effects on systemic vasculature (blood pressure fall, decrease in intravascular volume), renal vasculature (rise in GFR, fall in renal blood flow), renal electrolyte excretion (rises in many electrolytes), and changes in release of a number of different hormones. Whether all these changes are the result of direct ANF effects or secondary to a (single) primary event of the hormone remains to be determined. Certainly, it has been proven that more physiological doses of ANF fail to induce short-term changes in many of these parameters leaving only a rise in hematocrit, natriuresis and an inhibition of the RAAS as important detectable ANF effects in humans. This leads us to hypothesize that ANF is a "natriuretic" hormone with physiological significance. The primary function in humans is to regulate sodium homeostasis in response to changes in intravascular volume (cardiac atrial stretch). Induction of excess renal sodium excretion and extracellular volume shift appear to be the effector mechanisms. The exact mechanism of the natriuresis in humans still needs to be resolved. It appears however, that possibly a small rise in GFR, a reduction in proximal and distal tubular sodium reabsorption, as well as an ensuing medullary washout, are of importance. The pathophysiological role of ANF in human disease is unclear. One may find elevated plasma irANF levels and/or decreased responses to exogenous ANF in some disease states. Whether these findings are secondary to the disease state rather than the cause of the disease remains to be resolved. Therapeutic applications for ANF, or drugs that intervene in its production or receptor-binding, seem to be multiple. Most important could be the antihypertensive effect, although areas such as congestive heart failure, renal failure, liver cirrhosis and the nephrotic syndrome cannot be excluded. Although the data that have been gathered to date allowed us to draw some careful conclusions as to the (patho)physiological role of ANF, the exact place of ANF in sodium homeostatic control must still be better defined. To achieve this, we will need more carefully designed low-dose ANF infusion, as well as ANF-breakdown inhibitor studies. Even more promising, however, is the potential area of studies open to us when ANF-receptor (ant)agonists become available for human use.

Abstract
We have compared the levels and subtypes of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptors in astrocyte glial and neuronal cultures prepared from the hypothalamus and brain stem of 1-day-old rats. Astrocyte glial cultures contain approximately twice the number of ANP receptors, as measured by 125I-ANP specific binding, compared with neuronal cultures. Rat ANP-(99-126), rat brain natriuretic peptide (BNP32), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP-22), atriopeptin I, and [des-Gln18,Ser19,Gly20,Leu21, Gly22]atrial natriuretic factor-(4-23)-NH2[C-ANF-(4-23)] all competed strongly for 125I-ANP binding in both culture types, with inhibitory constant values ranging from 0.47 to 8.07 nM. The presence of ANP-C receptors (clearance type) in both cell types is indicated from the strong competition of 125I-ANP specific binding by C-ANF-(4-23). The potency profiles for stimulation of guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate levels by these peptides were ANP = BNP much greater than CNP-22 greater than atriopeptin I in astrocyte glia and CNP-22 much greater than BNP32 greater than ANP greater than atriopeptin I in neuronal cultures. These results indicate that both types of culture contain guanylate cyclase-coupled ANP receptors, with astrocytes containing predominantly the ANP-A subtype and neurons predominantly the ANP-B subtype.

Abstract
The localization of the particulate and soluble guanylate cyclase in the rat brain was studied using cGMP-immunocytochemistry. The cGMP was fixed to tissue protein using a formaldehyde fixative, and an antibody against cGMP was used which was raised against a cGMP-formaldehyde-thyroglobulin conjugate. We used the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) as a model compound to stimulate the particulate enzyme and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) to stimulate the soluble enzyme. Sequential immunostaining for cGMP and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) showed that the great majority of the ANF-responsive, cGMP-producing cells were astrocytes. These ANF-responsive cells were found in discrete parts of the CNS; not all astrocytes in these regions were responsive to ANF. SNP stimulated cGMP in abundantly present neuronal fibres throughout the CNS; few neuronal cell bodies showed increased cGMP production after SNP. Moreover, SNP also raised cGMP in astrocytes, however, not all astrocytes showed the response to SNP. These results suggest that cells might be present in the CNS which contain both the soluble and the particulate guanylate cyclase. It was demonstrated that in the immature cerebellum, the cGMP was raised in glial structures in response to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), ANF, SNP, and kainic acid. The response to NMDA and kainic acid was sensitive to inhibition of the nitric oxide synthesis from L-arginine by NG-methyl-L-arginine. Surprisingly the response to ANF localized in the molecular layer and the granular layer was also sensitive to inhibition by NG-methyl-L-arginine, whereas the response to ANF in the deep nuclei was not. A small depolarization induced by 10 to 20 mmol/l K+ induced an increase in cGMP in chopped hippocampus tissue which showed a biphasic temporal characteristic. The initial, fast (30 sec), peak was shown to be localized in varicose fibres throughout the hippocampus, whereas the slower response (10 min) was localized in astrocytes. These studies demonstrate that the different enzymes which synthesize cGMP are differently localized. However, there is also a time dependency in the activation of the guanylate cyclases, which becomes apparent in different structures at different times. The possible role of cGMP as a regulator of ion homeostase is discussed.

Abstract
The effect of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on rat small intestinal electrolyte transport was examined. In vivo, intravenous administration of rat ANP(99-126) induced diuresis and natriuresis in conjunction with a significant decrease in intestinal water (basal, 37.1 +/- 5.7 versus ANP 28.5 +/- 6.0 microliters/cm per 20 min, P less than 0.05) and Na+ (4.0 +/- 0.7 versus 2.8 +/- 0.9 mumol/cm per 20 min, P less than 0.05) absorption (n = 9). In vitro, in Ussing chambers, in both jejunum and ileum, addition of 1.0 microM ANP to short circuited, stripped tissue produced a maximal increase in short circuit current and stimulated net Cl- secretion due to a significant increase in the unidirectional serosal to mucosal flux (JCl-sm: jejunum 17.4 +/- 1.3 versus 19.8 +/- 1.3 microEq/cm2 per h, P less than 0.01, n = 6; ileum 13.4 +/- 0.5 versus 17.2 +/- 0.6, P less than 0.01, n = 6) which was inhibited by the calcium channel antagonist verapamil (82 +/- 26%, P less than 0.05) and by the 5-HT2 receptor antagonist cinanserin (72 +/- 44%, P less than 0.05). Guanylate cyclase activity was stimulated by ANP in intact epithelium, but not in isolated crypt and villus enterocytes.

Abstract
We examined the distribution of binding sites for alpha-atrial natriuretic peptide (125I-ANP1-28) and the recently discovered porcine brain natriuretic peptide (125I-pBNP) on immunocytochemically identified cells in dissociated culture preparations of the rat trachea. Specific binding sites for both 125I-ANP1-28 and 125I-pBNP were evenly distributed over distinct subpopulations of smooth muscle myosin-like immunoreactive muscle cells, fibronectin-like immunoreactive fibroblasts and S-100-like immunoreactive glial cells. Neither keratin-like immunoreactive epithelial cells nor protein gene product 9.5-like immunoreactive paratracheal neurones expressed natriuretic peptide binding sites, although autoradiographically labelled glial cells were seen in close association with both neuronal cell bodies and neurites. The binding of each radiolabelled peptide was abolished by the inclusion of either excess (1 microM) unlabelled rat ANP or excess unlabelled porcine BNP, suggesting that ANP and BNP share binding sites in the trachea. Furthermore, the ring-deleted analogue, Des-[Gln18, Ser19, Gly20, Leu21, Gly22]-ANF4-23-NH2, strongly competed for specific 125I-ANP1-28 and 125I-pBNP binding sites in the tracheal culture; this suggests that virtually all binding sites were of the "clearance" (ANP-C or ANF-R2) receptor subtype.

Abstract
An informal poll of neurobiologists indicates the following widely-held misconceptions about cGMP: (1) we know very little about it; (2) it must not be very different from cAMP; and (3) no new biological principles are likely to emerge from studying it. In fact, despite these prejudices, our understanding of the cGMP second messenger cascade has increased dramatically in the last few years. We now know that it is very different from the cAMP system in almost every particular, and the differences reveal interesting and novel solutions to the biological problem of receptor-effector coupling.

Abstract
CaCl2 inhibited ATP-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity, but had little effect on basal and atrial natriuretic factor-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity in rat lung membranes. LaCl3 had similar effects as CaCl2 on basal and stimulated guanylate cyclase activity. LiCl and other monovalent salts inhibited ATP-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity more than basal enzyme activity. However, atrial natriuretic factor somehow stabilized the enzyme against the inhibitory effect of LiCl. These results suggest that ATP and atrial natriuretic factor activate the enzyme through different mechanisms. Since the effect of calcium on guanylate cyclase activity is different from that of monovalent salts and can be mimicked by lanthanum, it may be mediated by a specific calcium binding site or binding protein.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the presence and anatomical location of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) receptor subtypes in the rat central nervous system using in vitro autoradiographic and cross-linking techniques. 125I-ANF-(Ser99-Tyr126) served as a labeled ligand, whereas ANF-(Ser99-Tyr126) and two peptides endowed with selectivity for ANF-C receptor--namely, C-ANF (des-[Gln116-Gly120] ANF-[Asp102-Cys121]-NH2) and ANF-(Phe106-Ile113)-NH2--were used as displacing agents. Distribution studies revealed the presence of specific ANF binding sites in a number of central nervous system areas examined. C-ANF at 10(-6) M competed for 125I-ANF binding to a much lower extent than ANF in many of those structures, whereas ANF-(106-113)-NH2 at 10(-6) M did not have a significant effect on the radioligand binding except in the choroid plexus, pia-arachnoid, and olfactory bulb. Analysis of the competition curves revealed that in the choroid plexus, pia-arachnoid, olfactory bulb, subfornical organ, area postrema, and habenular nucleus, ANF interacts with its binding sites with high affinity (IC50, 0.46-0.77 nM). In contrast, C-ANF and ANF-(106-113)-NH2 competed for 125I-ANF binding with high potency (IC50, 2-16 nM) in the choroid plexus and pia-arachnoid only, where they were able to displace 60-70% of the radioligand binding. 125I-ANF cross-linking to olfactory bulb membranes resolved a specific 120-kDa band corresponding to the high molecular weight receptor but did not disclose a specifically labeled band corresponding to the low molecular mass receptor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We studied nocturnal and early morning variations in the concentration of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in 17 men who habitually snored. The subjects had a mean age of 51.0 +/- 5.8 years, range 41-62 y with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 32.9 +/- 7.3 kg/m2. The concentration of plasma ANP was measured by radioimmunoassay of venous samples at 10 p.m., midnight, 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. All night sleep recordings were conducted with the static charge sensitive bed to monitor body and breathing movements and a BIOX III Pulse Oximeter for the blood oxygen saturation level. Nine patients were defined as having the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). No significant diurnal variation for ANP concentrations was detected. At 8 a.m. five OSAS patients and two others had ANP concentrations above normal (70 pg/ml). Neither mean oxygen saturation during the night nor arterial hypertension discriminated between the high and low ANP groups at 8 a.m. The best discriminators for a high concentration of ANP at 8 p.m. were marked obesity (BMI greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2), over 400 movements lasting less than five seconds, and over 30% of active sleep per night. In a multivariate regression analysis age, percentage of active sleep during the night, BMI and the median oxygen saturation level during the night explained 76.4% of the total variance of ANP at 8 a.m. In a similar analysis the median oxygen saturation level during the night and BMI both explained the variance of ANP significantly. The whole model explained 53.7% of the variance of the ANP concentrations at 6 a.m.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Atriopeptin caused dose- (EC50 ca. 2 x 10(-8) M) and time-dependent increases in the intracellular concentration of cyclic GMP in the MDCK kidney epithelial cell line; an effect potentiated by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, IBMX. The atriopeptin-catalysed increase in cyclic GMP was transient and reached a maximum some 10-20 min after challenge of cells with atriopeptin. The basis for the transience of this increase was shown to be due to the desensitization of guanylate cyclase coupled with extrusion of cyclic GMP from the cells and the degradation of cyclic GMP by phosphodiesterase activity. Atriopeptin-catalysed extrusion of cyclic GMP was time- and dose-(EC50 ca. 1.5 x 10(-8) M) dependent and was inhibited by probenecid but not by high external cyclic GMP concentrations. The extrusion process underwent apparent desensitization as did guanylate cyclase with similar half lives (T1/2 of ca. 20 min). Desensitization was dose-dependent upon atriopeptin and did not appear to be mediated by elevated cyclic GMP concentrations as pre-incubation with 8-bromo cyclic GMP did not cause desensitization and the half-times for desensitization were similar whether or not IBMX was present. The majority of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity was found in the cytosol fraction of the cells and could be separated into two cyclic AMP specific forms and two cyclic GMP preferring forms.

Abstract
Specific binding sites for [125I] porcine brain natriuretic peptide-26 ([125I]BNP-26) were investigated in the rat kidney by using receptor autoradiographic and membrane binding techniques. The binding sites were discretely localized in the glomeruli and inner medulla. There were no differences between the localization of [125I] BNP-26 and [125I] alpha-rat ANP binding sites. [125I]BNP-26 binding to solubilized membranes from isolated glomeruli of the rat kidney was saturable, and a single class of high-affinity sites. [125I]BNP-26 bound to two sites in solubilized inner medullary membranes. The rank order of potency to inhibit binding was BNP-26 = alpha-rat ANP (1-28) greater than atriopeptin III [ANP-(103-126)] much greater than atriopeptin I [ANP(103-123)] greater than des-Cys105, Cys121-ANP-(104-126). The possibility that BNP-26 regulates, as a circulating hormone, kidney functions by binding to ANP receptors would have to be considered.

Abstract
The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is rapidly secreted in case of acute changes in atrial volume and heart rate. Its effects are mainly natriuretic and vasodilator. This hormone is of interest to the anaesthetist because induction of anaesthesia, epidural anaesthesia and administration of morphine all result in changes in ANP plasma concentration.

Abstract
Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) binding sites have been shown to be present on human platelet membranes. We investigated the effect of an infusion of ANF 5 pmol.kg-1.min-1 on platelet aggregation in whole blood ex-vivo in 8 normal volunteers. Spontaneous platelet aggregation, collagen (0.6-2 micrograms.m.-1)-induced or ADP (0.5-2.0 microM)-induced aggregation was not affected by ANF. Plasma aldosterone was however significantly attenuated by ANF. These results show that a pharmacological dose of ANF does not affect platelet aggregation in man. These results suggest that the high plasma levels of ANF normally achieved in chronic heart failure or acute myocardial infarction are unlikely to contribute to the platelet hyperractivity, often observed in these conditions.

Abstract
We examined, in isolated blood perfused rat lungs, the effect of the cell permeable 8-bromo derivative of cGMP on pulmonary vasoconstriction induced by either alveolar hypoxia or angiotensin II. 8-Bromo cGMP dose-dependently reduced both hypoxia-(IC50 = 2.2 X 10(-5) M) and angiotensin-II-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction (IC50 = 5.0 X 10(-5) M). This effect of 8-bromo cGMP on pulmonary vasoconstriction was not affected by cyclooxygenase blockade. M & B 22948 (0.1 mM), an inhibitor of cGMP-phosphodiesterase, reduced synergistically with 8-bromo cGMP the hypoxia or angiotensin-II-induced vasoconstriction. The cGMP-phosphodiesterase inhibitor M & B 22948, by itself, selectively reduced hypoxia-induced vasoconstriction, suggesting a modulating effect of endogenous cGMP during hypoxic vasoconstriction.

Abstract
ATP has been reported to increase basal and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity. The structural features of ATP involved in the activation of guanylate cyclase were examined by employing a variety of ATP analogs with modification either at the phosphate chain or at the ribose moiety. Among the natural adenine nucleotides, ATP and ADP were able to increase both basal and ANF-stimulated guanylate cyclase activities in rat lung membranes. AMP had no effect. ATP was more effective than AMPPCP (the non-hydrolyzable analog of ATP), and ADP was more effective than ADP beta S and AMPCP (the hydrolysis-resistant analogs of ADP) to increase basal and ANF-stimulated guanylate cyclase activities. Removal of the oxygen atom from the ribose moiety of ATP or ADP significantly reduced their potency. Thus, the length of the phosphate chain and the hydroxyl groups at the ribose moiety are both determinants for nucleotide mediated guanylate cyclase activation.

Abstract
Despite intensive investigation, the pathogenesis of sodium retention in patients with chronic liver disease is not fully known. We have studied 19 chronic liver disease patients, 13 without (group 1) and six with (group 2) histories of clinical sodium retention (ascites or edema) by varying dietary sodium intake. The patients were placed on a 20 mmol/day constant diet for 1 wk, followed by a constant 100 mmol/day sodium diet for 1 wk under strict metabolic conditions. After 5 days of equilibration on each diet, blood and urine samples were collected for plasma atrial natriuretic factor levels and urinary sodium excretion. Group 1 patients (n = 6) achieved near sodium balance in 5 days on both a 20-mmol (urinary sodium output = 17 +/- 3 mmol/day) and a 100-mmol sodium diet (urinary sodium output = 80 +/- 5 mmol/day). Atrial natriuretic factor levels in these patients tended to be elevated, but the increase was not significantly greater than that in normal control subjects (10 +/- 4 pg/ml to 19 +/- 4 pg/ml) on the same diets. In contrast, group 2 patients (n = 5) were in significant positive sodium balance on both the 20 mmol/day sodium diet (mean urinary sodium output = 9.5 +/- 3.3 mol/day) and the 100 mmol/day sodium diet (urinary sodium output = 37 +/- 13 mmol/day). This occurred despite significantly elevated baseline atrial natriuretic factor levels and a significant increase in plasma atrial natriuretic factor levels after sodium challenge (62 +/- 9 pg/ml, p less than 0.05) on a 100 mmol/day sodium diet.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
ATP increases both basal and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)-stimulated guanylate cyclase activities. The present studies were designed to compare the effect of adenosine-5'-triphosphate, P3-1-(2-nitrophenyl)-ethyl ester (caged ATP), a photolabile derivative of ATP, with ATP. Caged ATP increases both basal and ANF-stimulated enzyme activities in a concentration-dependent manner, but is more potent than ATP. The effect of caged ATP significantly decreases after it is photo-converted to ATP by UV irradiation. These observations suggest that the caged group introduces a hydrophobic interaction thereby facilitating guanylate cyclase activation.

Abstract
The structure of rat intestinal cell receptors for Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) was investigated by affinity cross-linking to 125I-ST and analysis by denaturing gel electrophoresis. Cross-linking of labeled toxin to intestinal membranes and analysis by nonreducing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) revealed five specifically labeled proteins with molecular masses of 160, 136, 78, 71, and 56 (kilodaltons) kDa. Exhaustive reduction of these samples resulted in a similar pattern of labeling. Affinity-labeled proteins were further analyzed by nonreducing SDS-PAGE, reduction of the resulting separated proteins, and further separation by SDS-PAGE in the presence of beta-mercaptoethanol. Thus, the 160-kDa band on nonreducing gels consisted of two different receptors: a 160-kDa polypeptide not further reducible and one composed of at least two subunits, one of which was the 78-kDa subunit. Similarly, the 136-kDa band on nonreducing gels consisted of a 136-kDa polypeptide not further reducible and one composed of at least two subunits, one of which was the 71-kDa subunit. The 78-, 71-, and 56-kDa subunits were not further reducible. These data suggest heterogeneity of the ST receptor subunit structure and organization in rat intestinal epithelia.

Abstract
Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF, 10(-7) M) and, even more potently, sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 10(-5)-10(-3) M) stimulated cGMP formation in human peritoneal macrophages. This suggests that the two forms of guanylate cyclase, the particulate form stimulated by ANF and the soluble form activated by SNP, coexist in this cell type. A fall in cAMP levels in parallel with the rise of cGMP levels provoked by ANF and SNP was noticed that was amplified by an increase in the concentration of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, IBMX. Our finding that ANF, contrary to its action in other tissues, was unable to exert direct inhibitory effects on the adenylate cyclase activity in isolated macrophage membranes, together with the observation that SNP was able to mimic the effect of ANF on cAMP levels indicates that the cAMP-lowering effect of ANF is most likely mediated through the cGMP signal.

Abstract
Many of the effects of ANP are mediated through the elevation of cellular cGMP levels by the activation of particulate guanylate cyclase. While the stimulation of this enzyme is receptor-mediated, the molecular mechanism of activation remains unknown. In this study we present evidence that ATP as well as its analogues adenosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP gamma S) and adenylylimidophosphate (AMPPNP) activates guanylate cyclase from rat lung membranes and markedly potentiates the effect of ANP on the enzyme. The order of potency is ATP gamma S greater than ATP greater than AMPPNP. The enzyme activation by adenine nucleotide and ANP together is much more than the sum of the individual activations, suggesting that ATP may be the physiological component essential for the ANP-stimulated guanylate cyclase activation. The ATP gamma S-stimulated guanylate cyclase activity diminishes in the presence of various kinds of detergents, suggesting either that the conformation of an ATP binding site in guanylate cyclase is altered by detergents or that protein-protein interaction may be involved in the activation of guanylate cyclase by ATP. Guanylate cyclase from rat lung membranes is poorly activated by ANP and/or ATP gamma S after removing the cytosolic and weakly membrane-associated proteins or factors by centrifugation. Pre-incubation of the membranes with ATP gamma S retains enzyme activation after membrane washing. These results suggest either that ATP gamma S stabilizes the conformation of nucleotide binding site in guanylate cyclase from denaturation by membrane washing, or that the stimulatory effect of ATP on guanylate cyclase activity may be mediated by accessory proteins or non-protein cofactors which are lost during membrane washing, but remain bound to membranes by ATP gamma S pretreatment.

Abstract
Specific binding sites for porcine brain natriuretic peptide-26 (BNP-26), a member of the atrial natriuretic peptide family (ANPs), were investigated in the kidney by using receptor autoradiographic and membrane binding techniques with [125I]BNP-26. The binding sites were discretely localized in rat and porcine kidney areas corresponding anatomically to the glomeruli and inner medulla. There were no differences between the localization of [125I]BNP-26 and [125I]alpha-rat ANP binding sites in the kidney. [125I]BNP-26 binding to solubilized membranes from isolated glomeruli of the rat kidney was saturable, and a single class of high-affinity sites was labeled with a KD of 372 pM. The radioligand bound to two sites in solubilized inner medullary membranes of the rat, a low-affinity site with a KD of 30 nM, and a high-affinity site with a KD of 33 pM. The rank order of potency to inhibit binding was BNP-26 = alpha-rat ANP-(1-28) greater than atriopeptin III (ANP-(103-126)) much greater than atriopeptin I (ANP-(103-123)) greater than des-Cys105,Cys121- ANP-(104-126). Thus, [125I]BNP-26 presumably recognizes ANP receptors in the kidney. The possibility that BNP-26 regulates, as a circulating hormone, kidney functions by binding to ANP receptors would have to be considered.

Abstract
The ability of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) to alter cyclic GMP levels and NaKCl cotransport in rat neocortical astrocytes was determined. At concentrations of 10(-9)-10(-6) M, rat ANP99-126 (rANF), rat ANP102-126 (auriculin B), and rat ANP103-126 (atriopeptin III) stimulated 6- to 100-fold increases in cyclic GMP levels. Porcine BNP (pBNP) and rat BNP (rBNP) were 20%-90% as effective as rANF over most of this concentration range, although 10(-6) M pBNP produced a greater effect than rANF. NaKCl cotransport as measured by bumetanide-sensitive 86Rb+ influx was not altered by exposure of astrocytes to 10(-6)M rANF, pBNP, or rBNP. Both pBNP and rBNP, as well as rat ANP103-123 (atriopeptin I) and des[gl18, ser19, gly20, leu21, gly22] ANF4-23-NH2 (C-ANF4-23) strongly competed for specific 125I-rANF binding sites in astrocyte membranes with affinities ranging from 0.03 to 0.4 nM, suggesting that virtually all binding sites measured at subnanomolar concentrations of 125I-rANF were of the ANP-C (ANF-R2) receptor subtype. These receptors are thought to serve a clearance function (Maack et al.: Science 238:675-678, 1987) and may be linked to a guanylate cyclase activity that is chemically and pharmacologically distinct from that coupled to ANP-A (ANF-R1) receptors (Féthiere et al.: Mol Pharmacol 35:584-592, 1989). ANP receptors on astrocytes may function in limiting the access of ANP and BNP to neurons involved in body fluid and cardiovascular regulation.

Abstract
Stimulation of guanylate cyclase in vitro by atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) or sodium nitroprusside was studied in rat brain tissue slices biochemically as well as by means of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) immunocytochemistry. The ANF-responsive, cGMP-producing cells were studied in the olfactory bulb, the septal area, the hippocampus, the medial amygdala, and the medial preoptic area. These cells, having the ANF-stimulated particulate guanylate cyclase, were characterized as astroglial cells on the basis of their glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunostaining, although not all astroglial cells in these areas could be identified as cGMP-immunoreactive cells. Sodium nitroprusside-stimulated soluble guanylate cyclase activity was demonstrated in neuronal cell bodies and varicose fibers and was associated with blood vessel walls. Upon maturation, a significant decrease in cGMP production was found after stimulation by 100 nM ANF-(103-126) in the olfactory bulb, the medial amygdala, and the hippocampus, but not in the septal area; no change was found in these areas in cGMP content after stimulation of cGMP production by 10 microM sodium nitroprusside. Via cGMP immunocytochemistry, no qualitative differences were seen in the ANF-responsive, cGMP-producing cells upon maturation.

Abstract
Thirty-five patients scheduled for coronary artery surgery were studied during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to compare the arteriolar and venodilator properties of a bolus dose of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), 100 micrograms, with those of nitroglycerin, 200 micrograms, sodium nitroprusside, 120 micrograms, phentolamine, 3 mg, and placebo. A decrease observed in mean arterial pressure was used as an indicator of a decrease in systemic vascular resistance (arteriolar dilation), while a decrease in reservoir blood volume of the CPB circuit was considered to indicate an increase in venous capacitance (venodilation). All vasodilators decreased mean arterial pressure, and there was no difference in the maximal decrease of the pressure between the drugs. However, the decrease caused by ANF appeared later than that caused by the other vasodilators and lasted longer than with nitroglycerin and sodium nitroprusside. Nitroglycerin and sodium nitroprusside decreased reservoir blood volume, while ANF and phentolamine had no effect. It is concluded that ANF is an arteriolar dilator with a time profile of its effect differing from those of nitroglycerin, sodium nitroprusside, and phentolamine. ANF seems to have no venodilator activity in patients undergoing hypothermic CPB.

Abstract
Dispersed chicken adrenocortical cells were preincubated with atrial natriuretic peptide (rANP), sodium nitroprusside (SNP) or 8-bromo cyclic GMP, followed by incubations with ACTH, chicken PTH, cholera toxin or various steroid intermediates of aldosterone production. Cyclic AMP production and aldosterone secretion were evaluated, in order to determine the sites of ANP inhibition in the sequence of events leading to aldosterone secretion. Dose-dependent inhibitory effects on ACTH-stimulated aldosterone secretion by rANP and SNP were observed. Both agents appeared to stimulate cGMP production by the particulate fraction of the avian adrenocortical cells. Aldosterone production, stimulated by cyclic AMP agonists such as ACTH, chicken PTH and cholera toxin, was significantly inhibited by ANP. On the other hand, ANP did not interfere with production or degradation of cAMP. Each of the aldosterone intermediates--pregnenolone, progesterone, 11-deoxycorticosterone and corticosterone--promoted aldosterone production when included in the incubation media. Atrial natriuretic peptide and SNP inhibited aldosterone secretion when enhanced by the intermediates, by about 40-60%, but the ACTH-stimulated secretion was inhibited by over 90%. The results suggest two sites of inhibition by ANP in the pathway of aldosterone synthesis and secretion: synthesis of cholesterol or pregnenolone, and conversion of corticosterone to aldosterone. The inhibition by 8-bromo cGMP of aldosterone secretion and the similar sites of inhibition for ANP and SNP suggest that cyclic GMP mediates the inhibition in both cases.
