Figure 1 Plasma BNP and plasma cGMP and UcGMPV excretion BL, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240 and 300 min after SQ BNP administration. Open bar = acute low-dose group; solid bar = acute high-dose group. *p < 0.05 vs. BL; p < 0.05 vs. acute low-dose group. BL = baseline; BNP = brain natriuretic peptide; cGMP = 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate; SQ = subcutaneous; UcGMPV = urinary cGMP excretion.
