Brain natriuretic peptide helps regulate cardiac ATPase expression
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, August 10th, 2006
"In heart failure (HF), ventricular myocardium expresses brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Despite the association of elevated serum levels with poor prognosis, BNP release is considered beneficial because of its antihypertrophic, vasodilating, and diuretic properties.
