Serum calcitonin gene-related peptide concentrations in the horse and their relationship to the Systemic Inflammatory response
… continues. The serum concentration of both procalcitonin and its related molecule CGRP have been documented to increase in humans with SIRS, yet no literature exists as to the production or role of CGRP in equine patients with SIRS. This study showed that equine CGRP was produced in …
