Description
Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) is a potent vasodilator, and also elicits a number of other biological effects [4, 5]. Average plasma levels of CGRP have been reported to be from 0.8 pmol/L to 71 pmol/L (3 pg/mL to 269 pg/mL) in normal subjects. Increases in circulating CGRP levels have been noticed during hemodialysis, pregnancy, exacerbation of asthma and in cases of medullary thyroid carcinoma
