A novel peptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), has been predicted to result from
alternative processing of the primary RNA transcript of the calcitonin gene in the rat 1,2 . …

Background— Ischemia modified albumin (IMA; Ischemia Technologies, Inc) blood levels
rise in patients who develop ischemia during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is …

The rat calcitonin gene has recently been shown to encode a novel peptide (rat calcitonin
gene-related peptide, rCGRP) thought to be produced in nervous tissue after tissue-specific …

We have recently shown that the novel neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide, CGRP,
is a potent vasodilator. In this paper we report a detailed study of the effects of CGRP in …

(6R)-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-biopterin (H 4 B) is essential for the catalytic activity of all NO synthases.
The hyperphenylalaninemic mouse mutant (hph-1) displays 90% deficiency of the GTP …

Slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) is a primary mediator of immediate-type
hypersensitivity reactions, probably having a major bronchoconstrictor role in asthma. …

Endometrium and myometrium were collected at hysterectomy from 21 women with measured
menstrual blood loss. Eight women complained of dysmenorrhoea and the remaining 13 …

The calcitonin gene has been shown to give rise to another peptide, calcitonin gene-related
peptide (CGRP). The structure of human CGRP has been determined by mass spectrometry. …

This study was undertaken to compare the effects of 8-epi prostaglandin F2 alpha (8-epi
PGF2 alpha) to those of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) and U46619, a thromboxane …

Human and rat calcitonin gene-related peptides cause a dose-related contraction of guinea
pig ileum, which is antagonised by an anti-histamine, mepyramine, and an anticholinergic …
