Background-The association between higher body mass index (BMI) and lower B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level isthought to be mediated by expression of the natriuretic peptide clearance receptor (NPR-C) in adipose tissue. To explore this association, we tested 2 hypotheses: ( 1) that N-terminal (NT)-proBNP, which is not believed to bind NPR-C, would not be associated with BMI and (2) that lower BNP would be more closely associated with fat mass than with lean mass.Methods and Results-Measurements of BNP, NT-proBNP, and body composition by direct dual energy x-ray absorptiometry ( DEXA) were performed in 2707 subjects from the Dallas Heart Study. The associations between obesity and low BNP (
