ANF is a term with multiple meanings, most commonly referring to Atrial Natriuretic Factor, a hormone produced by the heart that helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance by increasing sodium and water excretion by the kidneys. It can also stand for Abercrombie & Fitch Co., a retail company, or the Anti-Narcotics Force, Pakistan’s law enforcement agency for combating drug smuggling. Less common meanings include the Allegheny National Forest and Angeles National Forest in the US, and a slogan like “America Needs Farmers.
