Catestatin is a multifunctional peptide that is involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular
and immune systems as well as metabolic homeostatis. It mitigates detrimental, excessive …

Chromogranin A (CgA)—the index member of the chromogranin/secretogranin secretory
protein family—is ubiquitously distributed in endocrine, neuroendocrine, and immune cells …

Chromogranin A (CgA (CHGA)) is the major soluble protein co-stored and co-released with
catecholamines and can function as a pro-hormone by giving rise to several bioactive …

Accounting for almost one-third of the global mortality, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)
represent a major global health issue. Emerging data suggest that most of the well …

The presence of activin A and its effects have previously been documented in the adrenal
gland, particularly in the human fetal adrenal gland and the rat adrenal gland. The primary …

In 1997, we identified a novel peptide, catestatin (CST: bovine chromogranin A [CHGA] 344–

recent advances in our understanding of the cardiovascular system from studies conducted …

Hypertension is associated with inflammation and excessive production of catecholamines.
Hypertensive patients have reduced plasma levels of CST (catestatin)—a bioactive …

Rationale: The neuropeptide catestatin is an endogenous nicotinic cholinergic antagonist
that acts as a pleiotropic hormone. Objective: Catestatin shares several functions with …
