Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured2

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    In adult female rats treated neonatally with testosterone or estradiol, the body's own vasoactive intestinal peptide in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, paraventricular nucleus and median eminence did not correlate significantly with plasma prolactin.

    In plain wordsIn female rats, the body's own VIP in three brain areas was not linked to blood prolactin.

    Summary · context
    We compared the effects of neonatal androgenization (NA) and estrogenization (NE) on vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) levels in the anterior pituitary (AP) and the hypothalamus and on prolactin (PRL) secretion in adult female rats.
