| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to address whether the action of LCAP depends on CGRP induction. The result was that the tissue repair and anti-inflammatory actions of LCAP are associated with its induction of CGRP. CGRP is an attractive, novel therapeutic target for the treatment of IBD patients.
