文摘

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) are closely related peptides with wide distribution in the nervous system. The aim of the present study was to investigate functional characteristics and the influence of sex steroids on the vasodilatory effects of these two peptides in cerebral and coronary vessels from female New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits.
