Effects of VIP and related peptides on airway mucus secretion from isolated rat trachea.
Peptides 19 (2) 241-245, 1998.—Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is known as an
important regulator of airway function. It has been suggested that VIP is involved in the
pathogenesis of asthma due to its relaxant effects on smooth muscles. The present study
was designed to characterize the effects of the peptides of the VIP family on airway mucus …
