Vasoactive polypeptides and cardiovascular endocrine diseases / 中国医学科学院学报

ABSTRACT

Cardiovascular bioactive peptides constitute life activity of human beings. They play important roles in regulating the development of cardiovascular system, and controlling disease progression. Recently, interests have arised on the adjusting effects of cardiovascular bioactive peptides on endocrine metabolism, its changes during disease course, influence on disease pathogenesis, as well as its effects on the diagnosis, treatment, and early interventions. New advances have been increasingly achieved in basic and clinical researches. It has become one of the most active areas in life sciences.
