The answer is True: Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) increases GFR to decrease blood volume.

Explanation:

  1. True: ANP is a hormone released by the heart's atria in response to increased blood volume and pressure. It acts to reduce blood volume by increasing the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the kidneys. This leads to increased excretion of sodium and water, thereby decreasing blood volume and pressure.

  2. False: This option is incorrect because ANP does indeed increase GFR as part of its mechanism to reduce blood volume.

In summary, ANP increases GFR to help decrease blood volume, making the statement true.
