High blood pressure. PS it is known as atrial natriuretic peptide.

reduce blood pressure
Its an indicator of congested heart failure.
Anti Naturetic Hormone which functions in reduction of water in the body.

atrial natriuretic peptide
The hormone that antagonizes the actions of aldosterone is atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). ANP inhibits aldosterone secretion and activity, promoting salt and water loss by the kidneys, which helps to reduce blood pressure and blood volume.
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is the hormone that promotes a decrease in blood pressure and a loss of sodium and water in urine. It is released by the atria of the heart in response to increased blood volume and pressure. ANP works by dilating blood vessels, promoting sodium and water excretion by the kidneys, and reducing renin and aldosterone release.
It inhibits release of renin from the kidneys and of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. The result is increased excretion of sodium ions and water from the kidneys and lowered blood volume and blood pressure. Or what you might be looking for is all of the above. :)
A hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is secreted by the heart in response to a rise in blood pressure and fluctuating sodium-water balances. The result of it's actions (that are a bit tricky but I can elaborate if you require) are that blood pressure is decreased by allowing sodium and water to leave the body via the urine.cortisol
Yes, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) inhibits sodium reabsorption in the kidneys by acting on the renal tubules. It promotes natriuresis, which leads to increased excretion of sodium in the urine. This helps to reduce blood volume and pressure.
