Screening of a specific peptide binding to VPAC1 receptor from a phage display peptide library. [PDF]
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The VPAC1 receptor, a member of the vasoactive intestinal peptide receptors (VIPRs), is overexpressed in the most frequently occurring malignant tumors and plays a major role in the progression and angiogenesis of a number of ...

An investigation into the relationship between small intestinal fluid secretion and systemic arterial blood pressure in the anesthetized rat [PDF]
In the absence of an ability to absorb fluid by cellular uptake mechanisms, fluid movement in vivo from the perfused rat intestine is absorptive when the diastolic blood pressure is normal or very low but is secretory when blood pressure falls below ...

Augmented Cystine–Glutamate Exchange by Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-activating Polypeptide Signaling via the VPAC1 Receptor [PDF]
In the central nervous system, cystine import in exchange for glutamate through system xc- is critical for the production of the antioxidant glutathione by astrocytes, as well as the maintenance of extracellular glutamate. Therefore, regulation of system

Glucose-targeted niosomes deliver vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) to the brain [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate glucose-bearing niosomes as a brain targeted delivery system for the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). To this end, VIP/125I-VIP-loaded glucose-bearing niosomes were intravenously injected to mice.

Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) in Cerebrovascular Disease
Cerebral blood vessels are innervated by sensory nerves that store several neurotransmitters among which calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is the most abundant. In primary headaches, there is a clear association between the head pain and the release

Evaluation of a PACAP Peptide Analogue Labeled with (68)Ga Using Two Different Chelating Agents. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The authors have conjugated chelating agents (DOTA and NODAGA) with a peptide (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide [PACAP] analogue) that has a high affinity for VPAC1 receptors expressed on cancer cells.

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Tumor [PDF]
Background and aim. Vasoactive intestinal peptide tumor is a rare neuroendocrine neoplasm which causes voluminous watery diarrhea via hypersecretion of electrolytes and water from the intestinal mucosa through a vasoactive intestinal peptide-mediated, cyclic AMP-dependent mechanism.

PACAP and migraine headache: immunomodulation of neural circuits in autonomic ganglia and brain parenchyma. [PDF]
The discovery that intravenous (IV) infusions of the neuropeptide PACAP-38 (pituitary adenylyl cyclase activating peptide-38) induced delayed migraine-like headaches in a large majority of migraine patients has resulted in considerable excitement in ...
