...Colin J. Montpetit; Arash Shahsavarani; Steve F. Perry SUMMARY The current model for the neuronal control of catecholamine release from piscine chromaffin cells advocates that the neurotransmitters vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP...

...Catharina Olsson SUMMARY The distribution and possible effects on gastrointestinal motility of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), nitric oxide and γ-amino-butyric acid(GABA) were investigated in the African clawed frog ( Xenopus...

...Catharina Olsson; Susanne Holmgren ABSTRACT The possible inhibitory roles of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and nitric oxide in the control of intestinal motility were investigated in the Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua . Circular...
