Immune System

ANP is produced locally by several immune cells.[1] ANP is shown to regulate several functions of innate and adaptive immune system as well as shown to have cytoprotective effects.[1]

·     ANP modulates innate immunity by raising defence against extracellular microbes and inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory markers and expression of adhesion molecules.[1]

·     There is evidence of cytoprotective effects of ANP in myocardial, vascular smooth, endothelial, hepatocytes and tumour cells.[1]
