Another hormone question ... what is the hormone located in the heart?

Thanks.

Answer:
The atria of the heart produces the atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) that regulates fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.

Dysfunctions are uncertain at this time.
ummmm... i think thats called blood. lol.
The hormone is ANP the it is a hormone that enables the kidneys to get rid of sodium.
yup ANP. in addition, ANP binds to a specific set of receptors. Receptor-agonist binding causes a reduction in blood volume and therefore a reduction in cardiac output and systemic blood pressure. Lipolysis and renal sodium secretion and excretion are also increased. The overall effect of ANP on the body is to counter increases in blood pressure and volume caused by the renin-angiotensin system.

in short, ANP causes hypotension
