“We suggest that CGRP may act on the extrajunctional membrane of muscle fibres to help induce acetylcholine receptor accumulation after appropriate receptors for the peptide are re-expressed due to muscle paralysis.”
“Apart from the mediation of pain, activation of these fibres causes release of various peptides, such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which is a potent vasodilator.”
“Thus, antidromic stimulation of afferent C fibres may increase blood flow via release of vasodilatory peptides such as tachykinins and calcitonin gene-related peptide.”
