The distribution of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was examined in skeletal
muscles of fore and hind limb as well as in oral and cranio-facial regions of the degenerating …

In this study we have analysed, by in situ hybridization, the expression of the genes for both
α-CGRP and β-CGRP in hypoglossal motor nuclei following transection of the left …

Along with acetylcholine, motoneurons express several neuromodulatory peptides. The
most extensively studied of these peptides is calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). CGRP …

The expression and content of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and secretogranin II
(SgII) in adult rat motor neurons were examined by in situ hybridization, Northern blot …

Using indirect immunofluorescence techniques, we have found that calcitonin gene-related
peptide-like immunoreactivity is present in the neuromuscular junctions of somatic muscles …

Trophic factors play important roles for the regulation of several motoneuron characteristics.
In this report, we have studied the effects of different trophic factors on the regulation of two …

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in skeletal muscle is of neural origin. After
degeneration of sensory fibers induced by removal of the lumbar dorsal root ganglia (DRG) …

The glial reaction was investigated in the spinal cord of the degenerating muscle (dmu)
mouse, which harbours a null mutation in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene Scn8a …

Sprague‐Dawley rats develop progressive motor dysfunctions during the third year of life.
We use this as a model to examine possible neuronal mechanism (s) that may cause motor …

In normal skeletal muscle, the protein dystrophin is associated with plasma membrane
glycoproteins and may be involved in the stabilization of the sarcolemma. Mutant mdx mice …
