I tried searches on the best generalised engines I know & in specialised
medical/science databases like Harvard's Dept of Molecular & Cellular
Biology for this 'atriol (as spelled in the quote) neuriatic factor',
using various spellings;
I then asked a cardiologist of my acquaintance about it. The complete
lack of any corroborative info from any of these sources (& the quality
of the, er, scholarship of the fellow quoted in the article in other
works) leads me to believe the whole thing is a load of fetid dingo
kidneys.

Having said this, I stand ready to eat said kidneys should someone else
find good info that corroborates the article.
