Summary Introduction
To review:
The action of atrial natriuretic peptide and its significance.
Introduction:
Peptide is a short chain of amino acids. The amino acids of the peptide chain are connected to each other through peptide bonds. Peptide are biologically occurring molecules and are found in all living organisms. Atrial natriuretic peptide is a peptide hormone which is involved in lowering blood pressure and maintaining the electrolyte homeostasis.

Briefly explain the Renin-angiotensin mechanism indicating the treatment or drug target sites of hypertensive patients in regulating blood pressure. A 63-year old man took four bottles of Kasepreko, an alcoholic beverage at a funeral ceremony and refused to eat my food. He wakes up early morning at the funeral grounds feeling very hungry but again refused to eat but rather ordered for alcohol. Hours later, after he had drunk the alcohol, he became unconscious and was rushed to the nearest hospital and later developed coma. A request by the clinician and a blood analysis by the laboratory scientist revealed low blood glucose levels. Briefly explain the mechanism behind the low blood glucose level and the development of coma by the patient.
