Abstract excerpt
Calcitonin-gene related peptide is among a group of peptides whose expressions are down-regulated following peripheral nerve damage. It is known that this is probably due to deprivation of some target-derived neurotrophic factors, mainly of nerve growth factor though positive effect of other factors, for example that of leukemia inhibitory factor on galanin has also been demonstrated. In this study, the effects...
