The prohormone chromogranin A (CHGA) is ubiquitously found in vesicles of adrenal
chromaffin cells and adrenergic neurons, and it is processed to the hypotensive hormone …

The cardiac function critically depends on an adequate myocardial oxygenation and on a
correct coronary blood flow. Endothelial, hormonal and extravascular factors work together …

Background In chronic heart failure, several hormonal systems are activated with diagnostic
and prognostic implications. We tested the hypotheses that serum Chromogranin-A (CgA) …

The involvement of Chromogranin A (CgA) in the cardiovascular function regulation is
attributed to its function as a prohormone. Several studies indicated that CgA-derived …

Chromogranin A is known as an important marker of neuroendocrine tumors. In
cardiovascular medicine, however, chromogranin A measurement has only recently gained …

Aims Catestatin (CST) is a chromogranin A (CgA)-derived peptide (hCgA352–372) with
three identified human variants (G364S/P370L/R374Q-CST) that show differential potencies …

Objective The phenotype of the chromogranin A (Chga) null (knockout) mouse is
hypertensive. However, hypertensive humans and spontaneously hypertensive rats display …

The chromogranin A (CHGA)-derived peptide catestatin (CST: hCHGA352–372) is a
noncompetitive catecholamine-release inhibitor that exerts vasodilator, antihypertensive …

Catestatin (Cst) is a 21-amino acid peptide deriving from Chromogranin A. Cst exerts an
overall protective effect against an excessive sympathetic stimulation of cardiovascular …

Chromogranin A (CgA) is widely expressed in endocrine and neuroendocrine tissues as
well as in the central nervous system. We observed CgA expression (mRNA and protein) in …
