Recent advances in vasoactive intestinal peptide physiology and pathophysiology: focus on the gastrointestinal system. [PDF]
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a gut peptide hormone originally reported as a vasodilator in 1970, has multiple physiological and pathological effects on development, growth, and the control of neuronal, epithelial, and endocrine cell functions ...
