This work shows that an intravenous infusion of atropine increases the concentration of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in the plasma of healthy subjects. The effect is discussed in reference to the heart rate and the role of the autonomic nervous system in the control of ANP secretion by atrial cardiocytes.
