Migraine has been estimated to be the seventh highest cause of disability worldwide, and the third most common disease worldwide after dental caries and tension type headache. However, the use of currently available acute and prophylactic medications to control this condition, such as 5-HT1 agonists (triptans) and beta-blockers, is limited by side ...

Dear Editor,Concentrations of substances in plasma, in this case CGRP,can be presented in several different to ways, such as pmol/l[1–7], pg/ml [8, 9] and just recently as ng/ml [10]. Thesedifferent concentrations can be compared when one usesthe molecular weight of 3,790 for CGRP but it takes 5–10 min of arithmetic to do that.

Serotonin and CGRP in Migraine [PDF]
Migraine is defined as recurrent attack of headache that are commonly unilateral and accompanied by gastrointestinal and visual disorders. Migraine is more prevalent in females than males with a ratio of 3:1. It is primarily a complex neurovascular disorder involving local vasodilation of intracranial, extracerebral blood vessels and simultaneous ...

It is known that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a key role in pain modulation in the brain. There are high expressions of CGRP and CGRP receptor in anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), an important brain structure in pain modulation.

Nociceptive neuropeptide increases and periorbital allodynia in a model of traumatic brain injury. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: This study tests the hypothesis that injury to the somatosensory cortex is associated with periorbital allodynia and increases in nociceptive neuropeptides in the brainstem in a mouse model of controlled cortical impact (CCI) injury.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide is a potential autoantigen for CD4 T cells in type 1 diabetes
The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide with critical roles in the development of peripheral sensitization and pain. One of the CGRP family peptides, islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), is an important autoantigen in type

Anti-CGRP antibodies block CGRP-induced diarrhea in mice [PDF]
The multifunctional neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and its receptor are expressed throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Previous studies have shown that CGRP has roles in intestinal motility, water secretion, and inflammation. Furthermore, animal studies have demonstrated CGRP involvement in diarrhea secondary to C.
