Natriuretic peptides secreted by the heart play a major role in the regulation of
cardiovascular homeostasis and remodeling. This minireview series discusses physiological
and pathophysiological roles of natriuretic peptides studied in animals and in humans, the
structure and signaling mechanism of the receptors mediating peptides' activities, and the
metabolism of natriuretic peptides.
