Inflammatory oedema induced by synergism between calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) and mediators of increased vascular permeability

Abstract

The potent vasodilator calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP, human synthetic), when mixed with histamine and injected intradermally in the rabbit, induced a marked potentiation of local oedema. CGRP also potentiated oedema induced by other mediators of increased microvascular permeability in the rabbit; bradykinin, platelet‐activating factor (Paf), C5a des Arg, N‐formylmethionyl‐leucyl‐phenylalanine (FMLP) and leukotriene B 4 (LTB 4). Substance P alone, or mixtures of substance P and CGRP, failed to induce oedema in rabbit skin. In rat skin, however, substance P induced oedema and this was potentiated by CGRP. CGRP had a protracted potentiating action following intradermal injection in the rabbit. The time for half loss of activity for CGRP was 40.1 ± 7.5 min compared to 18 ± 1 min for prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2). No loss of potentiating activity was detected after incubation of CGRP in rabbit plasma or blood for 60 min. We postulate that endogenous CGRP, if released locally from nerve endings, could have a marked enhancing effect on oedema induced by other mediators in an inflammatory reaction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
