    Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide phase-advances the rat suprachiasmatic nuclei circadian pacemaker in vitro via protein kinase A and mitogen-activated protein kinase.

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. 02LabNot a test of Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) aloneEx vivo tissueMechanism

    In rat suprachiasmatic nuclei in vitro, the PKA inhibitor KT5720 and the MAPKK inhibitor U0126 both blocked phase advances evoked by VIP or the VPAC2 agonist Ro 25-1553.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests on rat brain tissue, two enzyme blockers stopped the clock shift caused by VIP or a VPAC2 agonist.

    Summary
    Both inhibitors blocked VIP or Ro 25-1553-induced phase advances, indicating that the late-night resetting actions of VIP via the VPAC(2) receptor require PKA and MEK.

    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).
