Pregnant rats with pre-eclampsia-like conditions induced by NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)
Comparison
Calcitonin gene-related peptide chronically… vs Saline infusions (control group) and L-NAME alone
Design

Does CGRP reverse hypertension and decrease fetal mortality in a pre-eclampsia rat model induced by L-NAME?
CGRP prevents gestational hypertension and reduces fetal mortality in a rat model of L-NAME-induced pre-eclampsia, suggesting a role in regulating vascular adaptations during pregnancy.
Yallampalli et al. (1996) studied this question.
