Abstract excerpt
The current studies have implicated a prominent role for PACAP peptides in modulating the physiological function of cells derived from the sympathoadrenal lineage. Compared to VIP, both PACAP-27 and PACAP-38 demonstrated potent, efficacious, and sustained stimulatory effects on sympathetic neuronal NPY and catecholamine production. The differential effects of PACAP peptides on SCG NPY and catecholamine content...
