“In cultured trigeminal neurons, L-arginine upregulated the expression of CGRP , and this effect was diminished by cilnidipine (N-type calcium channel blocker) while not by mibefradil (L-type calcium channel blocker).”
“5 The release of CGRP evoked by ETX was enhanced by L‐arginine by 43% and inhibited by Nω‐nitro‐L‐arginine (L‐NOARG) and methylene blue by 37% and 38%, respectively.”
“ CGRP , in a concentration-dependent manner, enhanced the release of nitrite (a stable oxidation product of NO) and the formation of L-citrulline from L-arginine caused by IL-1 beta.”

“In contrast, CGRP impaired the plasma insulin responses to both glucose (7 mg/min; P less than 0.001) and arginine (8.5 mg/min; P less than 0.001), and inhibited the arginine-induced increase in plasma glucagon concentrations (P less than 0.001).”
