Thyroliberin (TRH) increases thymus cell proliferation in rats.

abstract：:Amylin (AMY) is a member of calcitonin family of peptides. In this study, the effects of intrathecal (i.t) injection of AMY on the inflammatory pain and on the cAMP accumulation in the rat spinal cells were investigated. By using AMY receptor antagonists, we also studied the pharmacology of AMY receptors in the spinal...
