title: Calcitonin gene-related peptide and menopause.
abstract: The review summarizes recent findings with respect to pathophysiological role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), in postmenopausal symptoms and diseases, which has opened horizons in understanding pathophysiology of menopause in a better way. Current evidences strongly propose a need to develop CGRP receptor antagonists, which may prove beneficial in many prevalent menopausal symptom/diseases such as vasomotor symptoms, cardiovascular risk, obesity, and major depressive disorder, in which CGRP levels are elevated.
