In the present study, we investigated the changes in capsaicin- and endotoxin-induced calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release from mesenteric arterial bed (MAB) and spinal cord slices (SCS) in 2-month-old and 18-month-old Wistar rats. The isolated MAB or SCS was perfused or incubated in vitro

## Abstract Little information is available concerning the pelvic visceral afferent system, in view of its terminal location in the spinal cord and its associated transmitter substances in the rat. By utilizing an immunostaining method to examine the transneuronal neurotransmitter depletion resulti
This study investigated second messengers formed in response to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in primary cultures of neonatal rat spinal cord. CGRP increased the level of cAMP above basal levels (50 pmol/mg protein) over a large range of concentrations. The concentration-response curve had
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is the major product of the calcitonin gene in brain and exerts a number of actions in the central nervous system (CNS). In particular the finding that CGRP affects dopamine (DA) release and metabolism has raised the possibility that it may play a role in sever
