In response to high blood pressure, a few cardiac cells secrete atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which helps regulate salt output by the kidney. In the kidney, ANP inhibits sodium ion reabsorption and renin release. In the adrenal cortex, ANP inhibits secretion of aldosterone. These effects reduce blood volume and blood pressure.
