Adrenomedullin and the microvasculature
The peptide adrenomedullin shows a remarkable range of effects on the vasculature that include vasodilatation, regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, inhibition of endothelial apoptosis and promotion of angiogenesis.

IntroductionAdrenomedullin (AM) is an autocrine/paracrine growth factor as well as a crucial regulator of angiogenesis and immune response. AM is overexpressed by most solid tumors, which makes it a good target for anti-tumor therapy.MethodsIn this study,

Plasma adrenomedullin concentrations in patients with adrenal pheochromocytoma
BACKGROUND: The hypotensive peptide adrenomedullin was first isolated in extracts of human pheochromocytoma. There is, however, no information available on the behaviour of circulating adrenomedullin or on the correlation with catecholamines in patients ...

Mechanisms of Adrenomedullin-Induced Dilatation of Cerebral Arterioles
Background and Purpose Adrenomedullin is a recently discovered vasoactive peptide that is structurally related to calcitonin gene–related peptide (CGRP). Adrenomedullin is produced by vascular endothelium and smooth muscle and is

Effects of Adrenomedullin on Atrial Electrophysiology and Pulmonary Vein Arrhythmogenesis
Adrenomedullin, a peptide with vasodilatory, natriuretic, and diuretic effects, may be a novel agent for treating heart failure. Heart failure is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the effects of adrenomedullin on atrial ...
