Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an often severely pruritic chronic inflammatory disease worsened by psychological stress. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) a sensory neuropeptide, which may cause pruritus. Earlier studies indicate special pathogenetic role for CGRP in AD. However, somewhat contradictory results regarding positive nerve fibers AD skin, have been reported. We studied skin biopsies...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is present in both motor and sensory neurons and transported in the somatofugal direction. CGRP levels in sensory neurons are assumed to be regulated by NGF supplied from their peripheral targets. In cultured sensory neurons, however, a basal level of CGRP persists even without NGF. This suggests that some additional factors may be involved in regulation o...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a potent vasodilator and relaxes smooth muscle of a variety of tissues, but the effects of CGRP on human myometrial contractions and the changes in CGRP receptors (CGRP-Rs) in human myometrium have not been described. We report that CGRP induced dose-dependent relaxation in spontaneously contracting myometrium from pregnant women. This relaxation effect...

Overexpression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), an extremely potent vasodilator, to blood vessels is a possible strategy for prevention of vasospasm. We constructed an adenoviral vector that encodes prepro-CGRP (Adprepro-CGRP) and examined the effects of gene transfer on cultured cells and cerebral arteries. Transfection of Adprepro-CGRP to Cos-7 and NIH-3T3 cells increased CGRP-like ...

Migraine is a common neurological disorder that is associated with an increase in plasma calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels. CGRP, a neuropeptide released from activated trigeminal sensory nerves, dilates intracranial blood vessels and transmits vascular nociception. Therefore, it is propounded that: (i) CGRP may have an important role in migraine pathophysiology, and (ii) inhibition...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been found in both sensory and motor neurons. It has been suggested that CGRP is transported from neuron cell bodies to their terminals, where it may act as an anterograde trophic factor. However, it is not known how fast CGRP is transported or whether CGRP found in the innervated target organ indeed originated in neural tissues. We have quantified end...

Hanan Selman Hessan and Ahmed Mohammed Abbas 563 Abstract Immune status was examined after tonsillectomy operations in 30 children with recurrent acute tonsillitis, their ages ranged between 3-10 years, were clinically diagnosed by ENT surgeon at AlHilla General Teaching Hospital and 10 apparently healthy children were included as a control in the study which lasted from February to May 2011 .I...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), acting through CGRP receptors, produces behavioral signs of mechanical hyperalgesia in rats and sensitization of wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons in the spinal cord dorsal horn. Although involvement of CGRP receptors in central sensitization has been confirmed, the second-messenger systems activated by CGRP receptor stimulation and involved in pain transm...

Ischemia induces angiogenesis as a compensatory response. Although ischemia is known to causes synthesis and release of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), it is not clear whether CGRP regulates angiogenesis under ischemia and how does it function. Thus we investigated the role of CGRP in angiogenesis and the involved mechanisms. We found that CGRP level was increased in the rat hindlimb is...
