Also written as ANP.

cGMP= atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), nitric oxide (NO)

What our notes say

• cGMP= atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), nitric oxide (NO) (Medical Physiology Assorted SAQs — With Answers (Past Paper Study Guide))
• Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) - inhibits ADH secretion (Medical Physiology Year Two – Paper Two MCQs)
• This involves renal function + hormonal interactions with the heart, especially through atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP): (CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY LAQs & SAQs)
• Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP): Released by the heart in response to high blood volume, ANP acts to counter the effects of ADH and aldosterone. (Renal Anatomy and Physiology)
