Independent Impact of Gynoid Fat Distribution and Free Testosterone on Circulating Levels of N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in Humans

Independent Impact of Gynoid Fat Distribution and Free Testosterone on Circulating Levels of N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in Humans

Background: Natriuretic peptides (NPs), including brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), are neurohormones involved in the regulation of water-sodium balance and the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. A higher concentration of NPs is observed in females, but the mechanism behind this difference ha...
