The integrative and sustained effects of small increments in atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) on hemodynamic, renal, and hormonal function are still unclear. Accordingly, we have studied the sequential effects of 24-h, low-dose infusion (2.4 pmol.kg-1.min-1) of rat Ile-ANF or vehicle alone (control) in six normal sheep receiving a constant sodium intake. Compared with control observations, ANF infusions induced a threefold rise in venous plasma ANF and a sustained twofold rise in plasma guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate. Systolic arterial and right atrial pressures fell promptly and remained significantly reduced for the duration of the ANF infusions. These changes were associated with a sustained fall in plasma volume but no activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. In contrast to the other actions, ANF-induced natriuresis, which was significant in the first 8 h of infusion, was not sustained. These studies show that significant biological effects occur in response to small ANF increments (20-25 pmol/l) and indicate that hemodynamic factors, especially fall in plasma volume, are important in determining the renal response even at near-normal plasma ANF concentrations.

Abstract This study investigated the physiologic and sedative parameters associated with a low-dose infusion of dexmedetomidine (Dex). Thirteen healthy volunteers were sedated with Dex at a loading dose of 6 mcg/kg/h for 5 minutes and a continuous infusion dose of 0.2 mcg/kg/h for 25 minutes. The recovery process was observed for 60 minutes post infusion. The tidal volume decreased significantly despite nonsignificant changes in respiratory rate, minute ventilation, oxygen saturation, and end-tidal carbon dioxide. The mean arterial pressure and heart rate also decreased significantly but within clinically acceptable levels. Amnesia to pin prick was present in 69% of subjects. A Trieger dot test plot error ratio did not show a significant change at 30 minutes post infusion despite a continued significant decrease in bispectral index. We conclude that sedation with a low dose of Dex appears to be safe and potentially efficacious for young healthy patients undergoing dental procedures.

To evaluate the effect of very low-dose infusion of atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) on aldosterone regulation, seven normal young men were infused for 2.5 h with 0.47 pmol.kg-1.min-1 of human [Ser-Tyr28]ANH or placebo. During the last 0.5 h 4 pmol.kg-1.min-1 of angiotensin II were also infused. ANH plasma levels increased from 3.46 +/- 0.25 to a maximum of 6.80 +/- 0.88 pmol/l, which is well within normal limits. Plasma aldosterone decreased almost 40%, from 40.7 +/- 5.7 to 25.9 +/- 4.9 ng/dl after 2 h. ANH infusion caused a slight decrease in blood pressure and slight increase in renal excretion of sodium and potassium. These results suggest that even small changes in ANH levels, within the normal range, have physiological significance, particularly in aldosterone regulation.
