Abstract excerpt
In the present study we determined the mRNA-expression of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP)/vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors in primary cultures of rat cortical neurons and type I astrocytes, and investigated the effects of PACAP38 on adenylyl cyclase, inositol phospholipid hydrolysis and intracellular calcium homeostasis. PACAP38 elicited a concentration-dependent (1 nM-100...
