title: Hemodynamic effects of atrial natriuretic factor clearance receptor occupancy in conscious sheep.
abstract: The present study examined the hemodynamic actions of a non-guanylate cyclase linked or "clearance" atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) receptor ligand--des[Gln116Ser117Gly118Leu119Gly120] ANF 102-121 (C-ANF 4-23)--in conscious sheep. The effect of this peptide on the duration and potency of the hypotensive action of ANF (99-126) was also studied. C-ANF (4-23), infused at 400 micrograms/h for 2 h, reduced blood pressure, cardiac output and stroke volume, and increased total peripheral resistance slightly. These changes were similar to those previously observed with infusion of 20 micrograms/h ANF (99-126) in sheep. Endogenous ANF concentration increased from 28 +/- 13 to 85 +/- 18 pg/mL after 80 min infusion of C-ANF (4-23). The duration of hypotensive action from injection of ANF (99-126) was increased almost two-fold during infusion of C-ANF (4-23), however the hypotensive potency of ANF (99-126) was similar both prior to and during infusion of C-ANF (4-23). These studies support the concept of the metabolism of ANF via clearance receptors, suggesting that long-term hemodynamic actions of endogenous ANF may be achieved via prolonged blockade of these clearance receptors.
