THE SEARCH for natriuretic hormones or factors by studies of negative pressure breathing,
atrial distension experiments, head-out water immersion, expansion of blood volume, Na + /…

The GOLF experiment on the SOHO mission aims to study the internal structure of the sun by
measuring the spectrum of global oscillations in the frequency range 10 -7 to 10 -2 Hz. Both …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are fundamental for macrophages to eliminate invasive
microorganisms. However, as observed in nonphagocytic cells, ROS play essential roles in …

Silica aerogel is a porous and transparent solid material. Its index of refraction is a function
of its density, and it can be freely adjusted between at least 1.01 and 1.06, and up to values …

We have recently shown that atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) inhibits adenylate cyclase activity
in rat platelets where only one population of ANF receptors (ANF-R2) is present, indicating …

A short and up-to-date review on the great advances made in the field of the atrial natriuretic
factor (ANF) is presented. All the short active peptides (up to 33 AA) isolated after …

The localization of two synthetic fragments of the C-terminal portion of atrial natriuretic factor:
Arg 101-Tyr 126 which displays full biological activity and Leu 94-Arg 109 which is …

Object Large-scale natural history studies of gross motor development have shown that
children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) plateau during childhood and actually decline through …

The SIGMA telescope, the largest French scientific space-payload ever launched, is one of
the main devices aboard the Soviet astronomy satellite GRANAT, successfully launched on …

Mammalian atrial cardiocyte granules contain a potent natriuretic and diuretic peptide. Since
cGMP appears to be involved in the modulation of cholinergic and toxin-induced sodium …
