The indicated errors represent the standard error of the mean determined from at least three independent experiments >100,000 indicates that the compound was examined but lacked agonist activity at up to 100 μM concentrations. (*) The values indicated for hAGRP(87-132), miniAGRP, hAGRP(109-118) and SHU9119 have previously been reported.28,70
