1 2831023 Preincubation with pertussis toxin or with manganese completely abolished the inhibitory effect of the peptides, suggesting that this is mediated by an inhibitory adenylate cyclase regulatory protein. sCT, hCT, and CGRP each showed unique patterns with regard to time course of inhibition of cAMP accumulation.
2 2454032 Rat CGRP and human CGRP were equipotent at inhibiting binding of 125I-CGRP and rat CAP, and human calcitonin did not inhibit binding.
3 3050530 We now report that human pancreatic amylin and rat CGRP-1 are potent inhibitors of both basal and insulin-stimulated rates of glycogen synthesis in stripped rat soleus muscle in vitro.
4 2227123 Moreover, although intravenous injection of CGRP (5.67 nmol/kg) elicited a significant increase in plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations, concomitant administration of epinephrine and norepinephrine, inducing a more prominent rise in plasma catecholamines than those induced by CGRP, affected neither plasma glucose nor insulin levels.
5 2227123 Finally, plasma insulin levels obtained by simulating CGRP-induced changes in plasma glucose or glucose plus catecholamine levels by infusion of glucose or glucose plus catecholamines were not different from those induced by CGRP injection.
6 2227123 These results suggest that CGRP has a hyperglycemic action that is not mediated by sympathetic outflow in conscious rats, and inhibition of insulin secretion, if any, does not play a major role in this hyperglycemic action of CGRP.
7 2227135 During hyperinsulinemic glucose-clamp studies, intravenous infusion of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in rats antagonized the ability of insulin to stimulate peripheral glucose disposal by 52% (196 +/- 7.2 vs. 105 +/- 10.5 mumol.kg-1.min-1, P less than 0.05) and to inhibit hepatic glucose output by 54% (P less than 0.01).
8 2227135 CGRP also inhibited the in vitro effects of insulin to stimulate hexose uptake in cultured BC3H1 myocytes at all insulin concentrations studied.
9 1966731 Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is an intrapancreatic neuropeptide that is known to inhibit glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in rats.
10 1966731 It was found that insulin secretion stimulated by glucose (8.3 mM) was inhibited by 77% by CGRP at 10(-6) M (p less than 0.001) and by 48% by the peptide at 10(-7) M (p less than 0.05).
11 1999269 Like CGRP, IAPP antagonizes the action of insulin mainly at the level of muscle glycogen synthesis, but the levels required for this effect seem to be considerably higher than reported circulating levels.
12 1876601 At the same concentration, however, IAPP significantly (p less than 0.05) inhibited carbachol-stimulated (10(-7) M) release of insulin by 30%, and CGRP significantly inhibited carbachol-stimulated release of insulin by 33% when compared with the control group.
13 1541236 Rat calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which has sequence homology with IAPP and has been reported to inhibit insulin action, was also administered.
14 1541236 Therefore, IAPP directly reduced only the insulin-mediated GU in the skeletal muscle, and this effect of IAPP occurred at the same dose as that of CGRP.
15 1541237 Intravenous injection of rat CGRP caused a significant increase in plasma glucose concentration with a simultaneous increase in plasma insulin levels, whereas neither IAPP-NH2 nor IAPP-COOH had any effect.
16 1541237 Moreover, intravenous infusion of CGRP decreased tolerance to intragastric administration of glucose (O-GTT) without altering plasma insulin levels, but again IAPPs had no effect.
17 1541237 Conversely, CGRP as well as IAPP-NH2 but not IAPP-COOH evoked dose-dependent activation of adenylate cyclase in the membranes, and these effects were significantly inhibited by a CGRP receptor antagonist, human CGRP-I(8-37).
18 1637089 IAPP was subsequently shown, like CGRP, to inhibit the release of insulin pharmacologically.
19 1393277 These results indicate that the cutaneous microvasculature of rats with STZ-induced diabetes responds differently to intradermal ET-1 and ET-3 compared with normal rats; a similarly altered vascular reactivity was observed with vasopressin and CGRP.
20 8305633 The non-amidated form of hIAPP; human diabetes-associated peptide (hDAP) did not inhibit the binding of 125I-[His]hCGRP I and sCT was only effective at a high concentration (1 microM).
21 8305633 Human CGRP I and cCGRP at 2.5 microM did not stimulate the activity of hamster insulinoma cell membranes adenylate cyclase, while glucagon (1 microM) induced a 2-fold increase.
22 8305633 These results and the observation that cCGRP and hCGRP I did not influence adenylate cyclase activity provide further evidence for CGRP receptor subtypes.
23 7513041 Treatment of diabetic rats with NGF also prevented the deficits in the levels of CGRP and gamma-PPT mRNA in the lumbar dorsal root ganglia (P < 0.05).
24 11181905 In addition, SB-(+)-273779 antagonized CGRP-mediated 1) stimulation of intracellular Ca(2+) in recombinant CGRP receptors in HEK-293 cells, 2) inhibition of insulin-stimulated [(14)C]deoxyglucose uptake in L6 cells, 3) vasodilation in rat pulmonary artery, and 4) decrease in blood pressure in anesthetized rats.
25 11943667 Exogenous CGRP and substance P potentiated, whereas somatostatin inhibited (1 nM-10 microM) the FS-induced contractions in rings from either group.
26 12574158 A functional calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor requires dimerization of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) with receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP 1).
27 12574158 All RAMP 1 mutants were able to associate with CRLR with full efficacy for CGRP-stimulated cAMP accumulation.
28 15448099 It is concluded that experimental diabetes in the mouse is associated with loss of immunoreactive CGRP primary sensory neurons of the A-cell phenotype, that this loss could play a role for the touch-evoked nociception in the model, and that the neuronal immunoreactive CGRP abnormality possibly is mediated by activation of the p75 neurotrophin receptor.
29 17307998 Using an intravital microscopic approach in C57BL/6J mice, we showed that ANG II type I (AT(1)) or type II (AT(2)) receptor antagonism (with valsartan or PD-123319, respectively), inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) with captopril, or calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor blockade (CGRP8-37) prevented postischemic LR but did not influence I/R-induced LA.
30 17307998 Our work suggests that ANG II, formed by the enzymatic activity of ACE and chymase, plays an important role in inducing postischemic LR and LA, effects that involve the engagement of both AT(1) and AT(2) receptors and may be mediated by CGRP and NADPH oxidase.
31 18378339 The protein and mRNA expression of TRPV1, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) levels in hearts were measured, respectively.
32 19665690 We previously reported that sensory neuron stimulation increases IGF-I production by releasing calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs).
33 19665690 These observations suggest that ARBs might increase CGRP release from sensory neurons by sensitizing VR-1 activation through increases in cAMP levels, which thereby increased the production of IGF-I in SHRs.
34 21357463 Furthermore, metabolic response to amylin was enhanced in the nestin/hRAMP1 mice whereas the response to CGRP was blunted, possibly the result of higher expression of CGRP in the CNS.
35 21277869 Inhibition of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) suppresses calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) secretion in pancreatic nerve fiber cells, thereby stimulating insulin secretion.
36 21554904 IPostC effectively protected non-diabetic hearts against ischemia/reperfusion injury by improving cardiac function and lowering creatine kinase (CK) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) release, which could be abolished by inhibiting TRPV1, CGRP receptor or SP receptor.
37 21554904 CGRP or SP-induced postconditioning significantly prevented both non-diabetic and diabetic hearts from ischemia/reperfusion injury by improving cardiac function and lowering CK and cTnI release.
