abstract：:Evidence suggests that functional atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptors occur in surface gastric mucosal epithelial cells. To evaluate functional aspects of ANP in a model of these cells we examined the expression of natriuretic peptide receptors (NPR) subtypes A and C in the non-transformed rat gastric mucosal e...
