Chronic kidney disease of unknown aetiology (CKDu), which is widespread in the North Central Province (NCP) of Sri Lanka, is not associated with commonly known factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis. The pathogenicity of CKDu

Treatment with cyclosporin A (CsA) following solid organ transplantations such as heart or liver generally results in bone loss. However, in vitro studies show that CsA inhibits bone resorption. Our previous in vivo animal studies demonstrated that t

Exposure to microgravity (weightlessness) is known to cause rapid bone and muscle losses. We have used the hind limb-suspended (HLS) rat model to simulate microgravity-induced musculoskeletal losses in order to assess resulting hormonal changes and t

The present study investigated whether pregnancy and circulatory ovarian hormones increase the sensitivity of the mesenteric artery to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-induced relaxation and possible mechanisms involved in this process. Mesente

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a potent vasodilator neuropeptide known to be involved in the regulation of vascular tone. Results of previous studies from our laboratory and others suggest that vascular sensitivity to CGRP is enhanced duri

Human and rodent studies have demonstrated that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a potent vasodilator, relaxes uterine tissue during pregnancy but not during labor. The vascular sensitivity to CGRP is enhanced during pregnancy, compared to non

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is the most potent endogenous vasodilatory peptide, and is involved in the regulation of blood flow to vital organs. We have previously shown that CGRP may be involved in vascular adaptations that occur during p

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a potent vasodilator neuropeptide known to be involved in the regulation of vascular resistance. Several lines of evidence suggest that CGRP plays a role in the vascular adaptations that occur during normal p

Pre-eclamptic toxemia (PET) affects 4 to 8% of human pregnancies. Presently, reliable specific therapies to treat this disorder are not available. This study was designed to develop a new therapeutic approach in the management of PET using an animal

We recently established that the chronic inhibition of nitric oxide production with N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) increases blood pressure and fetal mortality in pregnant rats. Using this animal model, we have investigated whether calci
