Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effect of thyroid hormone on circulating levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was studied in experimental hyperthyroid and hypothyroid rats. Plasma ANP was 102 +/- 5 pg/ml in euthyroid rats, 82 +/- 4 pg/ml in hypothyroid rats, and 138 +/- 11 pg/ml in hyperthyroid rats. We have also measured immunoreactive ANP in the atria of euthyroid, hypothyroid, and hyperthyroid rats. ANP content and concentration in the atria were lower (546 +/- 32 pg/mg tissue) in hyperthyroid rats than in hypothyroid rats (802 +/- 74 pg/mg tissue). Right atrium from euthyroid, hypothyroid, and hyperthyroid rats was superfused with a modified Langendorff preparation. Spontaneous release of ANP was significantly higher from the hyperthyroid rats (20 +/- 2 pg.min-1.mg-1) than from the hypothyroid rats (5.6 +/- 0.5 pg.min-1.mg-1). ANP release from the euthyroid rats was 9.3 +/- 1.2 pg.min-1.mg-1. These results indicate hyperthyroidism causes an increase in ANP secretion and a decreased release occurs during hypothyroidism.
