Abstract
We investigated the release of atrial natriuretic peptide-like immunor eactive material (ANP-LI) after splanchnic nerve stimulation of isolat ed perfused adrenal glands. Electrical stimulation of the splanchnic n erves caused a statistically significant increase of ANP-LI (186 +/- 1 2 pg. min(-1); p < 0.05) at 5 min. after stimulation. The integrated A NP-LI release after stimulation was amounted to 354 +/- 6.8% over basa l. The regulation of ANP through the sympathoadrenal system may indica te an important role of ANP in adrenal steroidogenesis.
