Other Scholarly Publications: COMPUTER TEACHING SOFTWARE: Developed four teaching related
computer programs:
Glomerular Filtration
Body Fluids
Tubular Osmolality
Transport Maximum
These programs were used in our medical physiology course and were purchased by over 50
universities. The software was reviewed in BIOSYS 43(1): 1992.

Dietz, JR:
This Laboratory is studying a group of Cardiac Hormones called natriuretic peptides
because they are hormones secreted by the heart that increase the excretion of sodium (Na)
by the kidneys (uretic).
These hormones are part of a naturally occurring mechanism that is important in
regulating blood volume and blood pressure.
Salt Intake ( Blood Volume Expansion and Stretch of the Atria ( atrial natriuretic
peptide (ANP) Secretion.
ANP increases salt and water excretion to reduce blood volume and blood pressure.
ANP also directly dilates blood vessels which helps to lower blood pressure.
Work in this area over the past 20 years has already resulted in new drugs to treat
hypertension and heart failure.
ANP is normally degraded in the kidneys by an enzyme (NEP) which breaks its peptide ring
structure, making it inactive.
Drugs which inhibit NEP cause ANP in the plasma to increase, thus augmenting ANP s blood
pressure lowering capacity.
