VASOACTIVE INTESTINAL PEPTIDE ENHANCES LUNG PRESERVATION

Transplantation, 1993
The outcome of lung transplantation is often dependent on the quality of the donor lungs. To explore a way to improve lung preservation, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) was added to pneumoplegic solutions. The 4 solutions tested were Krebs solution, Krebs solution with VIP, University of Wisconsin solution, and the University of Wisconsin solution ...

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide–Secreting Tumors

Pancreas, 2019
Abstract Vasoactive intestinal peptide–secreting tumors (VIPomas) are a group of rare neuroendocrine tumors, which cause a typical syndrome of watery diarrhea. Most of these tumors are found in the pancreas and are usually detected at a later stage.

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide and Nerve Regeneration

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1991
The role of vasoactive intestinal peptide (V.I.P.) in nerve regeneration was investigated by assessing the changes in immunoreactive V.I.P. levels in rat sciatic nerves following injury and repair. 60 rats were divided into three surgical groups and one control group: In group I (primary repair), sciatic nerves were divided and immediately repaired ...

Vasoactive intestinal peptide in cerebrospinal fluid

Peptides, 1984
Immunoreactive vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) was measured in lumbar and ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with various neurological disorders and in 2 hour aliquots of cisternal fluid removed continuously from rhesus monkeys. Although most of the VIP in concentrated pools of human ventricular fluid and of monkey cisternal fluid ...

Transmitter Role of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide

Pharmacology & Toxicology, 1993
Abstract: Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is a 28 amino acid with a wide‐spread neuronal localization. VIP fulfils many of the classical criteria for neurotransmission. In the cerebral cortex bipolar VIP neurones are involved in the coupling between energy metabolism, blood flow and neuronal activity. Furthermore, VIP in the brain plays a role

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Tumor (VIPoma)

2021
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neurotransmitter which is present in the neurons in the central nervous system, the lung, intestine, adrenals, pancreas, and liver and in neuroendocrine cells in the pancreas. In the gastrointestinal tract, VIP stimulates contraction of enteric smooth muscle cells, secretion from the exocrine pancreas ...
