pubmed:abstractText
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a hormone release into the circulation by atrial cardiocytes (Gutkowska et al. 1984). Extracellular fluid volume expansion acts as a powerful stimulus for ANP secretion and results in the augmentation of its plasma concentration (Lang et al. 1985). Patients with active acromegaly demonstrate the increased extracellular fluid volume (Falkheden et al. 1964), while a successful treatment of the disease results in the disappearance of hypervolemia (Strauch et al. 1977). We have recently demonstrated that in patients with active acromegaly the increased total body plasma volumes are accompanied by the elevated plasma ANP concentrations, whereas, in the successfully treated patients, both: total plasma volumes and plasma ANP levels do not differ significantly from these in healthy subjects (Czekalski et al. 1988b).
