to evaluate the role of cyclic guanosine monophosphate ( cgmp ) in the vascular and renal action of atrial natriuretic peptide ( anp ) , we compared the effects of atriopeptins ( aps ) on cgmp accumulation in cultured cells from rat mesenteric vascular smooth muscle ( vsm ) , glomerular mesangium ( gm ) and renal papillary collecting tubule ( rpct ) , and also evaluated the relationship between renal sodium or water excretion and urinary cgmp in ap-infused rats .
