to elucidate the pathophysiological role of atrial natriuretic polypeptide ( anp ) in the brain in hypertension , the tissue concentrations and contents of alpha-rat anp-like immunoreactivity ( alpha-ranp-ll ) in the hypothalamus and septum of 4-week or 18-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats ( shr ) were studied using a radio-immunoassay ( ria ) for alpha-ranp and compared with those of age-matched wistar-kyoto rats ( wky ) .
