1. Antenatal dexamethasone improves atrial natriuretic peptide receptors in hypoplastic lung in nitrofen-induced diaphragmatic hernia in rats

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of antenatal glucocorticoid administration on the atrial natriuretic peptide system in nitrofen-induced congenital diaphragmatic hernia hypoplastic lung in rats.

Abstract:

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) plays a major role in electrolyte and volume homeostasis through potent biological effects including vasorelaxation, bronchorelaxation, lung permeability, and clearance. There are two distinct biochemical and functional classes of ANP receptors, guanylate cyclase receptor (GC-R) and clearance receptors (clearance-R). Two subtypes of GC-R have been more...
