Influence of hypothalamic proline-rich peptide on the level of [14C]glucose utilization during crush syndrome.

The number of publications on the investigation of crush syndrome (CS) pathogenesis at traumatic toxicosis is rather limited. The influence of some pharmacological preparations on the development of CS pathogenesis is not very well clarified. Proline-rich peptide (PRP) is a fragment of a glycopeptide comprising the carboxyterminus of the neurohypophyseal vasopressin-neurophysin precursor isolated from the bovine neurohypophysis neurosecretory granules.
