Description:... Recent research findings on vascular intestinal peptide (VIP), pituitary adenyl cyclase activating peptide (PACAP), and other members of the secretin/glucagon family of peptides are reported by leaders in the field. The role of these peptides in the regulation of gene expression, developmental and neurotrophic processes, as well as endocrine and gastrointestinal functions are addressed and their basic clinical implications discussed.
