The vasorelaxing effects of vasonatrin peptide (VNP), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on isolated rat pulmonary artery, abdominal aorta and celiac vein were measured by in vitro perfusion. The results showed that VNP, CNP and ANP caused concentration-dependent relaxation in isolated rat pulmonary artery, abdominal aorta and celiac vein with endothelium or without endothelium. The maximal responses (Rmax) of VNP were (76 +/- 17)%, (51 +/- 14)% and (62 +/- 14)% in pulmonary artery, abdominal aorta and celiac vein with endothelium respectively, whereas those of CNP were (31 +/- 8)%, (22 +/- 7)% and (41 +/- 8)%, and ANP (38 +/- 10)%, (41 +/- 10)% and (11 +/- 4)%. The median effective concentration (EC50) of VNP were 16 +/- 11, 35 +/- 18 and 12 +/- 8 nmol/L in pulmonary artery, abdominal aorta and celiac vein with endothelium respectively, while those of CNP were 148 +/- 112, 299 +/- 84 and 14 +/- 12 nmol/L, and ANP 66 +/- 47, 16 +/- 15 and 909 +/- 445 nmol/L. VNP were more effective than CNP and ANP, and the differences were statistically significant (P ANP > or = CNP for pulmonary artery; VNP > ANP > CNP for abdominal aorta; VNP > CNP > ANP for celiac vein. There was no significant difference between vessels with intact endothelium and those denuded of endothelium (P > 0.05).
