abstract：:We examined the specific rat 125I-alpha-rat atrial natriuretic peptide(1-28)[ANF-(99-126)] (125I-rANP) binding sites in the cerebral capillaries from the cerebral cortex of male adult Wistar rats. The binding of 125I-rANP at 37 degrees C was saturable and of high affinity with a Kd of approximately 100 pM and Bmax of ...
