These rat findings warrant no clinical extrapolation; leaves open whether CGRP-ANP hemodynamic differences translate to humans.
What are the regional hemodynamic effects of CGRP compared to ANP in conscious rats?
CGRP produces complex, dose-dependent, and regionally specific hemodynamic effects in conscious rats that are distinct from those of ANP.
Gardiner et al. (1989) studied this question.
