Guest guest Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a peptide hormone containing 28 amino acid residues and is produced in many areas of the human body including the gut, pancreas, and suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus in the brain. VIP acts as hormones, neurotransmitters, immune modulators and neurotrophes in the body. Dr. RS recently started recommending low dose of VIP in the form of nasal spray for treating systemic inflammation response syndrome. In the gut, VIP stimulates pancreatic bicarbonates secretion. In the brain, VIP plays a key role in communication between individual brain cells.
