Pretreatment of rat prostatic epithelial cells with the tumor-promoting phorbol ester 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate resulted in a decrease of both the potency of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) upon the stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation and the affinity of the receptors of this peptide.
In this study, Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil).
