Journal ArticleDOI
The endocrine role for chromogranin A: a prohormone for peptides with regulatory properties.
TL;DR: Endocrine regulations are indicated from in vivo studies, consistent with the postulated prohormone function of CgA for peptides with regulatory properties, implicating C gA peptides in regulation of calcium and glucose metabolism, cardiovascular functions, gastrointestinal motility and nociception, tissue repair, inflammatory responses and in the first phase of microbial invasions.
Book
Biology of Antarctic Fish
TL;DR: The Fossil and Modern Fish Faunas of Antarctica: Evolution and Diversity and the Contribution of the BIOMASS Program to Antarctic Marine Ecosystem Research are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myocardial production of chromogranin A in human heart: a new regulatory peptide of cardiac function.
Maurizio Pieroni,Angelo Corti,Bruno Tota,Flavio Curnis,Tommaso Angelone,Barbara Colombo,Maria Carmela Cerra,Fulvio Bellocci,Filippo Crea,Attilio Maseri +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that CgA is produced by human myocardium and exerts negative inotropic and lusitropic effects on mammalian heart.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Antihypertensive Chromogranin A Peptide Catestatin Acts as a Novel Endocrine/Paracrine Modulator of Cardiac Inotropism and Lusitropism
Tommaso Angelone,A.M. Quintieri,Bhawanjit K. Brar,Pauline T. Limchaiyawat,Bruno Tota,Sushil K. Mahata,Maria Carmela Cerra +6 more
TL;DR: The cardioinhibitory influence exerted on basal mechanical performance and the counterregulatory action against beta-adrenergic and endothelin-1 stimulations point to Cts as a novel cardiac modulator, able to protect the heart against excessive sympathochromaffin overactivation, e.g. hypertensive cardiomyopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative study of the arterial and lacunary systems of the ventricular myocardium of elasmobranch and teleost fishes
TL;DR: It appears that the concept of the piscine heart as a typical "venous" type is an oversimplified generalization, at least on morphological grounds, in relation to the phylogenetic and functional context of the fish heart.
