Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Protects Against Cardiovascular Dysfunction Independently of Nitric Oxide In Vivo
1 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
The neuropeptide CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) is a potent vasodilator, with a cardioprotective role, although the precise mechanisms are unclear. Here we show the ability of endogenous and exogenous CGRP to restore blood pressure, when nitric oxide synthesis is blocked, in a model of cardiovascular disease associated with endothelial dysfunction and impaired nitric oxide production. Male wild-type and...
