Atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP)has been described as a part of the regulatory system of volume homeostasis. The role of ANP in postnatal volume hmestasis was investigated in 27 normal newborn infants during the early postnatal period. Plasma Mean plasma concentration of plasma ANP was 24.7¡¾13.8 pg/13.8pg/ml on the 1st day, 56.2¡¾60.0pg/ml on the 3-5th day and 35.0¡¾22.0pg/ml on the 7th day....
