1 In addition to the vasodilator action, CGRP also inhibited nerve stimulation-induced and norepinephrine-induced vasoconstriction at extremely low concentrations. Norepinephrine calcitonin-related polypeptide alpha Rattus norvegicus
2 The inhibitory action of CGRP appeared to be mediated by postsynaptic mechanisms inasmuch as evoked norepinephrine release was not affected by CGRP when the vasoconstriction produced by norepinephrine or periarterial nerve stimulation was attenuated greatly by CGRP. Norepinephrine calcitonin-related polypeptide alpha Rattus norvegicus
