Behavioral effects of atrial and brain natriuretic peptides in rats

THE effects of intracerebroventricular administration of rat atrial natriuretic peptide (rANP-1–28) and porcine brain natriuretic peptide-32 (pBNP-32) on passive and active avoidance behavior and on electroconvulsive shock-induced amnesia were studied in rats. The dose range for both peptides was se
