Hemodynamic effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide in spontaneously hypertensive rats

Abstract: Systemic and regional hemodynamic effects of intravenously injected calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), 220 and 650 pmol, were compared in nine Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and nine spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). CGRP (higher dose) reduced mean arterial pressure (from 135 +/- 2 to 83 +/- 2 and from 179 +/- 4 to 116 +/- 3 mmHg; P less than 0.01, each, in WKY and SHR, respectively) through a fall (-38 +/- 4 and -40 +/- 3%; P less than 0.01) in total peripheral resistance associated with an unchanged cardiac ou… Show more

“…This finding was compatible with the previous report that AM and CGRP exerted a potent vasodilator action via cAMP (7). Although HR was increased by both peptides, implying that reflexive sympathetic activation occurs as a result of both treatments, CI was increased by AM (23,24) but not by CGRP (15,16), in agreement with previous reports. This finding was probably due to the difference in cardiac-afterload reduction between the AM and CGRP groups.…”

“…It is likely the latter was due to a venodilator action of human a-CGRP (Tornebrandt et al, 1987;Crossman et al, 1987; but see Al-Kazwini et al, 1987;Marshall et al, 1988). The present results, therefore, provide some explanation for the conflicting data in the literature regarding the cardiac haemodynamic effects of CGRP (DiPette et al, 1987;Lappe et al, 1987;Siren & Feuerstein, 1988;Ando et al, 1990) (see Introduction), since it is apparent that the effects of the peptide depend on the dose used. Moreover, it may be that the cardiac haemodynamic responses to bolus injections of CGRP would give a less clear picture of the interrelated changes that were seen in the present study, particularly with the infusion of the higher dose of human a-CGRP.…”

“…However, results of experiments in rats are less clearcut, possibly because of limitations with the methodology used. Thus, there have been two studies (DiPette et al, 1987;Ando et al, 1990) using the radiolabelled microsphere technique in acutely prepared rats (3 h post surgery), in which single measurements of cardiac output were made at a fixed time point after bolus injections of CGRP. Using this approach DiPette et al (1987) observed a small increase, while Ando et al (1990) found no change, in cardiac output after administration of rat and human a-CGRP, respectively.…”

“…All CGRP family peptides exhibit cardiovascular actions, although relative potency differs among the members, CGRPOAMRAM2[amylin (Ando et al 1990, Charles et al 1997, Hall & Brain 1999, Fujisawa et al 2004. CGRP is a neuropeptide in the brain and periphery, which is released from axon terminals innervating the vascular smooth muscles (see Brain & Grant 2004 for review).…”
