Effects of natriuretic peptides on renal function and mechanism by which urinary Na+ excretion is increased. ANP = atrial natriuretic peptide; BNP = brain natriuretic peptide; ECF = extracellular fluid volume; GFR = glomerular filtration rate; IMCD = inner medullary collecting duct.

3. Figure 2
Mechanisms by which combined angiotensin receptor blockade and neprilysin inhibition may provide clinical benefits in patients with congestive heart failure. In addition to well-recognized cardiovascular functions, increased natriuretic peptides may lead to improvements in metabolic homeostasis in epicardial and perivascular fat depots providing local beneficial effects on myocardial function. AT1 = angiotensin receptor subtype 1.

The role of natriuretic peptides in shivering and nonshivering thermogenesis with cold exposure (see text for detailed discussion). ADP = adenosine diphosphate; ANP = atrial natriuretic peptide; ATP = adenosine triphosphate; BNP = brain natriuretic peptide; UCP = uncoupling protein.
