ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) is a hormone that is produced by the heart in response to increased blood volume and pressure. It helps regulate fluid balance in the body by increasing urinary output and decreasing sodium reabsorption in the kidneys. The hormone aldosterone actually has the opposite effect, as it promotes sodium retention and water reabsorption in the kidneys. ADH (antidiuretic hormone) also promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys, which can reduce urinary output.
