Abstract
We measured plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels in 17 patients with newly diagnosed thyrotoxicosis. ANP was elevated compared to a group of healthy controls and fell to normal after treatment. Plasma cyclic guanosine monophosphate was also raised in untreated patients. Elevated circulating levels of ANP may play a part in the haemodynamic changes of hyperthyroidism.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
