利尿激素作为一种调节血压的物质正引起医学界的注意。由京都药科大学、岛根医科大学联合组成的研究小组,最近在人工合成利尿激素及研制这种激素的抗体方面取得了成功。在此之前,有关研究已查明这种激素在体内产生的激素类中属于分泌量最多的一种。这项研究是查明高血压与食盐的困果关系等基础医学研究方面一个新的突破,也将是在诊断、治疗心力衰竭及原因不明的高血压方面的一个划时代的进展。 Diuretic hormone as a substance that regulates blood pressure is arousing medical attention. The research team, composed of Kyoto Pharmaceutical University and Shimane Medical College, recently succeeded in synthesizing diuretic hormone and developing antibodies to this hormone. Prior to this, the study has identified the hormones produced by this hormone in the body belong to the most secreted one. This study is a new breakthrough in basic medical research to identify the relationship between hypertension and salt pain, and will be an epoch-making progress in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure and unexplained hypertension.
