VIP treatment prevents embryo resorption by modulating efferocytosis and activation profile of maternal macrophages in the CBAxDBA resorption prone model [PDF]
, 2016 Successful embryo implantation occurs followed by a local pro-inflammatory response subsequently shifted toward a tolerogenic one. VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) has embryotrofic, anti-inflammatory and tolerogenic effects.

Ovine feto‐placental metabolism
The Journal of Physiology, 2004 Fetal growth depends on the transplacental nutrient supply, which, in turn, is determined partially by the consumption and production of nutrients by the uteroplacental tissues. In fetal sheep, the rates of growth and umbilical glucose uptake decline coincidently towards term in parallel with the normal prepartum rise in plasma cortisol. While cortisol
