Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide rat has been used to study its protective role in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). CGRP has also been used to examine the effects of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and salmon calcitonin (sCT) on gastric lesions and mucosal barrier in stress induced rats.
Calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) is a neuropeptide, which is produced by sensory nerves.
Potent, long-lasting vasodilator; activation of CGRP receptors on pancreatic β-cells increases plasma levels of pancreatic enzymes.
