In order to study alterations of peripheral substance P (SP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the immunoreactive nervous system in essential hypertension, plasma SP and VIP concentrations in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) at 8, 12, 18, 28, 30, 35 and 48 weeks of age a…
This result measures the body's own Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
