Introduction: The neurohormones A and B-type natriuretic peptides are markedly increased in patients with heart disease, and are well established as useful diagnostic biomarkers. Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Cross sectional data suggest however that plasma levels are reduced among obese. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of weight loss and corresponding changes in body composition on plasma levels of A and B-typ...

Objective: The cardiac hormone brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), including the N-terminal fragment of the prohormone (NT-proBNP) have in cross-sectional studies been demonstrated to be inversely associated with BMI. Clearance of these peptides by adipocyt specific receptors have been suggested. We therefore investigated the impact of weight loss on plasma levels of NT-proBNP and adiponectin in obese individuals.Methods: A total of 20 obese women and 2 men...
