Vasoactive intestinal peptide, also known as vasoactive intestinal polypeptide or VIP, is a peptide hormone that is vasoactive in the intestine. VIP is a peptide of 28 amino acid residues that belongs to a glucagon\/secretin superfamily, the ligand of class II G protein-coupled receptors.<\/p>\n
Function and effects<\/p>\n
Digestion: VIP helps control the secretion of water, salts, and enzymes in the digestive tract. It also inhibits gastric acid secretion.<\/p>\n
Cardiovascular: It is a potent vasodilator, meaning it relaxes blood vessels to lower blood pressure and increase blood flow.<\/p>\n
Respiratory: It has bronchodilatory effects, meaning it helps relax the airways in the lungs.<\/p>\n
Immune system: VIP acts as an immune regulator and has anti-inflammatory properties, and it is being researched for its potential role in treating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.<\/p>\n
Nervous system: It functions as a neurotransmitter in both the central and peripheral nervous systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
