Calcitonin gene-related peptide protects from soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1-induced vascular dysfunction in a preeclampsia mouse model

Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder during pregnancy associated with elevated levels of soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase (sFLT-1) and increased vascular sensitivity to angiotensin II (ATII). Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CALCA) is a potent vasodilator that inhibits the ATII...
