1. In the present study the possible relationship between adrenomedullin (AM) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the regulation of airway functions in anaesthetized guinea-pigs was examined in vivo. 2. We found that AM significantly inhibited histamine-induced bronchoconstriction in a dose-dependent manner. CGRP or the CGRP receptor antagonist (CGRP [8-37]) alone did not affect pulmonary resistance and pretreatment with CGRP or CGRP [8-37] did not significantly affect histamine-induced bronchoconstriction. However, AM-induced bronchoprotection was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with CGRP or CGRP [8-37] in a dose-dependent manner. 3. It is therefore possible that CGRP may be competitive, at least in part, with binding sites of AM in the guinea-pig airway. Exogenous AM may be useful for the management of bronchial asthma, not only as a potent bronchodilator, but also as a functional antagonist of CGRP.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D001985 Bronchial Provocation Tests Tests involving inhalation of allergens (nebulized or in dust form), nebulized pharmacologically active solutions (e.g., histamine, methacholine), or control solutions, followed by assessment of respiratory function.
