Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide Reverses Ammonium Metavanadate-Induced Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Rats
The rate of atmospheric vanadium is constantly increasing due to fossil fuel combustion. This environmental pollution favours vanadium exposure in particular to its vanadate form, causing occupational bronchial asthma and bronchitis. Based on the well admitted bronchodilator properties of the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), we investigated the ability of this neurope...
متن کاملPituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide and migraine
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) is found in human trigeminocervical complex and can trigger migraine. PACAP levels were measured using a sensitive radioimmunoassay. Stimulation of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) in cat elevated PACAP levels in cranial blood. Patients with moderate or severe migraine headache had elevated PACAP in the external jugular vein during headach...
متن کاملPituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide and adrenomedullary function.
PITUITARY ADENYLATE CYCLASE-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is an ancestral molecule for a superfamily of 11 hormones and hormone-like substances that have a secretin-containing core in common. These include PACAP, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1 and -2, growth hormone-releasing hormone, VIP, peptide histidine methionine, secretin, and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (see extensiv...
متن کاملDivergent peripheral effects of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide-38 on nociception in rats and mice.
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide-38 (PACAP-38) and its receptors have been shown in the spinal dorsal horn, on capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons and inflammatory cells. The role of PACAP in central pain transmission is controversial, and no data are available on its function in peripheral nociception. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of loca...
متن کاملPituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide regulates neurally mediated airway responses.
To clarify the protective effects of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) on airway narrowing, we examined the effects of PACAP on smooth muscle contraction and plasma extravasation in guinea-pig airways. Smooth muscle contraction evoked by electrical field stimulation (EFS) or exogenously applied acetylcholine (ACh) or substance P (SP) was measured before and after PACAP in v...
