In human parotid gland tumours, VIP was found immunohistochemically in acinic cell carcinomas, but not in pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin's tumour, oxyphilic adenoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, adenocarcinoma or adenoid cystic carcinoma.
In plain wordsIn human parotid gland tumours, the body's own VIP was found in acinic cell carcinomas but not in the other tumour types tested.

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in the neoplastic cells of acinic cell carcinomas arising in the human parotid gland was found immunohistochemically, whereas other parotid gland tumors, such as pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin's tumor, oxyphilic adenoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, adenocarcinoma,…
This result measures the body's own Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
