Relationship between N-Terminal Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide and Body Mass Index

Abstract: AbstractÖzet Objective: N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) is secreted from the cardiac ventricles in response to volume expansion. The effect of obesity on natriuretic peptide has yet to be fully elucidated. We aimed to compare the NT-pro BNP levels in obese and in healthy individuals with normal body mass index. Method: Forty-two obese patients (37 women, 5 men; body mass index ≥ 30) and thirty-five normal body mass index individuals (27 women, 8 men; body mass index ≤ 25) were analyzed r… Show more
