How does ANP effect blood pressure?

The overall effects of ANP release are a reduction in blood volume and therefore a reduction in central venous pressure, cardiac output, and arterial blood pressure. It increases renal sodium secretion and excretion. It also increases lipolysis.

The overall effect of which is to counter the blood pressure-raising effects of the renin-angiotensin system, meaning it decreases blood pressure basically.

I will more than happy to explain it in a simpler version, juss feel free to contact me!
