Results from this study3

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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone3

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. 01HumanNot a test of Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) aloneNon-randomized trialMechanism

    In human skin, all sites treated with the antagonist VIP(10-28) showed attenuated dilation in response to VIP.

    In plain wordsIn human skin, the VIP blocker VIP(10-28) reduced the vessel widening caused by VIP at every tested concentration.

    Summary
    All VIP(10-28)-treated sites displayed an attenuated dilatation in response to the VIP.

    Summary · context
    (1) We administered VIP by intradermal microdialysis to four discrete areas of skin in the presence of different levels of the VIP receptor antagonist, VIP(10-28), also delivered by microdialysis.

    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).

  2. 02HumanNot a test of Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) aloneNon-randomized trialMechanism

    In human skin, the greatest attenuation of VIP-induced dilation occurred at the site that received 214 microM VIP(10-28).

    In plain wordsIn human skin, the highest tested dose of the VIP blocker VIP(10-28) reduced VIP-induced vessel widening the most.

  3. 03HumanNot a test of Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) aloneNon-randomized trialMechanism

    In heated human skin, VIP(10-28), alone or with atropine, attenuated the increase in cutaneous vascular conductance during heat stress.
