Effects of hemodialysis on circulating adrenomedullin concentrations in patients with end-stage renal disease [PDF]
, 1998 To characterize the determinants of circulating levels of adrenomedullin (AM), the plasma levels of this peptide were measured in 58 patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, Predialysis plasma levels of AM were more than twice as high in ...

World Journal of Diabetes, 2014 Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a peptide hormone widely expressed in different tissues, especially in the vasculature. Apart from its vasodilatatory and hypotensive effect, it plays multiple roles in the regulation of hormonal secretion, glucose metabolism and inflammatory response.

Apocrine glands in the eyelid of primates contribute to the ocular host defense [PDF]
, 2004 Apocrine glands of Moll are regular components of primate eyelids. We studied the distribution and localization of these glands in three different primate species, the common marmoset, the rhesus monkey, and the hamadryas baboon.

20 kDa PEGylated Adrenomedullin as a New Therapeutic Candidate for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Gastrointestinal Disorders, 2020 Human adrenomedullin (AM), a hypotensive peptide, also has anti-colitis activity. We prepared a polyethylene glycol (PEG) ylated form of AM through the conjugation of PEG-AM (1–15) and AM (15–52).

Adrenomedullin and Glucocorticoids interaction at the glial/endothelial interface: two sides of the same regulatory coin? [PDF]
, 2014 Adrenomedullin is a vasodilatatory peptide, important during the inflammation process and also able to regulate blood-brain barrier function. Adrenomedullin and its receptors have been shown to be glucocorticoid-dependent in many cell types, including ...

Amylin: Localization, Effects on Cerebral Arteries and on Local Cerebral Blood Flow in the Cat
The Scientific World Journal, 2001 Amylin and adrenomedullin are two peptides structurally related to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). We studied the occurrence of amylin in trigeminal ganglia and cerebral blood vessels of the cat with immunocytochemistry and evaluated the role of ...
