Title Molecular biology of natriuretic peptides in reptiles and birds Author Trajanovska, Sofie. Institution Deakin University School School of Life and Environmental Sciences Faculty Faculty of Science and Technology Degree name Ph.D. Date submitted 2008 Keyword(s) Peptide hormones - Physiological effect Birds - Physiology Summary The heart produces natriuretic peptides that are critical regulators of blood pressure and renal function. This study examined the molecular evolution of natriuretic peptides in vertebrates and discovered novel forms of the peptides in birds. The research outcomes advanced our knowledge of the importance of these peptides in animal physiology. Notes Degree conferred 2009. Language eng Description of original xiv, 193 leaves ; 30 cm.
