Abstract

Objective: There are evidences that proadrenomedullin N-terminal 20 peptide (PAMP) and calcitonin may be involved in cardiovascular function. Therefore, we studied effects of rat PAMP and human PAMP as well as rat calcitonin and salmon calcitonin on coronary perfusion pressure, heart rate and contractile force.
