Abstract
The effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on the smooth muscle of mammalian airways has been investigated in vitro. CGRP itself lacked contractile activity but reduced responses evoked by bronchoconstrictor agents via a post-junctional action. The inhibitory effect of CGRP was concentration-related and greatest in distal airways. The results suggest that CGRP may contribute to regulating muscular tone in the tracheobronchial tree.Entities:
