Results from this study3

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

Natural levels measured3

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.

  1. 01AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Other

    In rats fed only in diurnal hours, the daily pattern of the body's own VIP-like immunoreactivity in the suprachiasmatic nucleus was perturbed and its minimum advanced by 4 h.

    In plain wordsIn rats fed only by day, the body's own VIP rhythm in a brain clock area was disturbed and its low came 4 hours earlier.

    Summary
    In these conditions which inverse the paradoxical sleep rhythm, the VIP-LI pattern is perturbed and its minimum advanced by 4 h in the SCN.

    Summary · context
    In order to determine whether these variations are linked to the light-dark cycle or are a consequence of sleep-wake rhythm expression, we dissociated these two parameters by restricting feeding to diurnal hours.

    This result measures the body's own Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.

    In rats fed only in diurnal hours, the daily pattern of the body's own VIP-like immunoreactivity in the periventricular nucleus was maintained but its minimum advanced by 4 h.

    In plain wordsIn rats fed only by day, the body's own VIP rhythm in the periventricular area kept its pattern; its low came 4 hours earlier.

    Summary
    In the PeVN, the daily pattern is maintained but the minimum is also advanced by 4 h.
