    Summary
    Exogenous VIP 10(-12) - 10(-8) M) infusion at the same time as chorda stimulation caused no increase in salivary flow, but the salivary protein concentration was increased in a dose-dependent manner.

Natural levels measured1

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. 05AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In rat salivary glands, VIP-containing nerve fibres were richly distributed around acini of the submandibular gland and rare around acini of the sublingual gland.

    Summary
    VIP-containing nerve fibres were richly distributed around acini in the submandibular gland but were rare around acini of the sublingual gland.

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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

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. These results are not evidence about taking Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil).

  1. 06AnimalNot a test of Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) aloneAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In rat salivary glands, VIP-receptor mRNA was strongly expressed in acinar cells of the submandibular gland but not in the sublingual gland.

    In plain wordsIn rats, the receptor that VIP acts on was found in submandibular gland cells but not in the sublingual gland.

    Summary
    Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-receptor mRNA was strongly expressed in the acinar cells in the submandibular gland but not in the sublingual gland.

    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).
