Explanation / Answer

Que 10.

Ans:

Glomerular filtration rate is decreased by all of the following except: increased secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide.

Explanation:

- The hormone atrial natriuretic peptide ( ANP ) is a factor that can increase glomerular filtration rate.

- ANP is a hormone that is produced in the heart and whose secretion increases in response to increased plasma volume.

- The effect of ANP is to promote natriuresis (increased sodium excretion), in part through increased GFR , and in parts through effects on Na+ reabsorption.

- Hence, Glomerular filtration rate is decreased by all of the following except: increased secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide.
