1. Calcitonin gene-related peptide in temporomandibular inflammation
Abstract : Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is an important biological mediator and cell-signalling molecule, involved in modulation of the immune system, inflammatory response and pain modulation. During pain and inflammation, sensory nerves are activated, and sensory neuropeptides such as CGRP is released from peripheral and central nerve endings. READ MORE

2. Vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women : the role of acupuncture and calcitonin gene-related peptide
Abstract : A majority of postmenopausal women experience vasomotor symptoms, which have a significant impact on the women's quality of life. Estrogens are the treatment of choice but can for different reasons not be used by all women. There is therefore a great need for viable alternative treatments. READ MORE

3. Contributions of calcitonin gene-related peptide in ischemia, inflammation and nociception
Abstract : The sensory neuropeptide Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a very potent vasodilator with a wide distribution in peripheral sensory nerves, often co-stored with substance P. In the present study, the effects of CGRP in different models of ischemia, inflammation and nociception were examined. READ MORE

4. Release and effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide in myocardial ischaemia
Abstract : A proportion of sensory C-fibres is characterized by sensitivity to the pungent agent in hot peppers, capsaicin. Upon stimulation by capsaicin, co-stored peptides including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), are released from the peripheral terminals of these fibres. READ MORE

5. Vasomotor symptoms in men and the role of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide
Abstract : Hot flushes is a cotmnon phenomenon in women during the menopausal transition. In men treated with castration because of prostate cancer, hot flushes are probably the most cotmnon and distressing side-effect and are as common in these men as in menopausal women but the course of the flushes is unknown.
