Because the choroid plexus has been shown to have a high density of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) binding sites, we investigated the effect of intracerebroventricular and intravenous administrations of ANP on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) formation. CSF formation rate was measured in conscious sheep with a dye-dilution method using blue dextran 2000 as an indicator substance. During the experiment animals were partially restrained in a sling, and their ventricular systems were perfused with artificial CSF containing the indicator substance. ANP (alpha-human ANP) administered centrally at rates of 0.015-15 ng/min, resulting in CSF ANP concentrations ranging from physiological to pharmacological CSF hormone levels, was found not to influence CSF formation. Similarly, intravenous administration of ANP at a rate of 10 ng.kg-1.min-1 did not affect CSF formation, i.e., decreases in CSF formation rate in all experiments involving ANP administration were not significantly different from those observed in time control experiments. Our results suggest that ANP does not significantly affect CSF production in sheep. It is possible that the lack of effect of ANP on CSF formation is associated with the predominance in the choroid plexus of clearance receptors over biologically active receptors.
