Rat atrial natriuretic polypeptide stimulation of adrenal zona glomerulosa cell growth
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
|October 15, 1985
Abstract:
Rat atrial natriuretic polypeptide (rANP) was found to stimulate [3H] thymidine incorporation into the DNA of bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells in a primary culture in a dose-dependent manner. The minimum effective dose was a very low concentration (10(-12) M of ANP), suggesting that ANP had a physiological effect. These findings are the first indication that ANP possesses growth-stimulating activity with regard to adrenal zona glomerulosa cells.
