What is the differance between anp and bnp ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check out these: Links.Anp is secreted or produced in the atriumn of the heart while bnp is secreted in the ventricles. Both are secreted in response to increase blood volume and stretching of the heart muscles. As a result, the vascular resistance and blood pressure are decreased.
