Normal serum levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in mild to moderate essential hypertension.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The direct renin inhibitor aliskiren is known to exhibit a strong antihypertensive effect. However, the organoprotective potential of aliskiren beyond its antihypertensive properties is less clear. This study investigates the antifibrotic nephroprotective effects of aliskiren in a nonhypertensive mouse model...
