Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Downregulates Expression of Inducible Nitride Oxide Synthase and Caspase-3 after Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats

Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Downregulates Expression of Inducible Nitride Oxide Synthase and Caspase-3 after Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats

Various investigations have demonstrated that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays an important role in mediating ischemic preconditioning. CGRP has been shown to mimic the protective effects of ischemic preconditioning and mitigate ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in the heart, brain, gast...
