Although previously thought to be synthesized solely in adrenal cortex, we have recently showed that aldosterone is also produced in and the expression of CYP11B2 mRNA was induced in the failing or hypertensive human ventricle. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are cardiac hormones with wide biological effects, including inhibition of renin and aldosterone production. We hypothesized that natriuretic peptides reduce the expression of CYP11B2 mRNA in the heart.
