  • Title: Responses of monkey, rabbit and dog internal carotid arteries to atrial natriuretic factor.
    Author: Kawai Y, Ohhashi T.
    Journal: Experientia; 1987 May 15; 43(5):568-70. PubMed ID: 2953624.
    Abstract:
    Effects of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) on monkey, rabbit and dog internal carotid arteries were investigated. ANF caused a concentration-dependent relaxation in arterial strips submaximally precontracted with noradrenaline, 5-hydroxytryptamine, or high-potassium solution (10-30 mM). The response was greatest in the monkey arteries and least in the dog arteries. These results suggest that there is a marked species difference in the ANF-induced relaxation of the internal carotid arteries.
