Stimulation of synthesis and release of brain-derived neurotropic factor from intestinal smooth muscle cells by substance P and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide

Bronchodilation by pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide and related peptides.

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) is present in nerves in the vicinity of bronchial and vascular smooth muscle in the airways. At least one endogenous form of PACAP, PACAP 1-27, has high affinity binding sites in the lung, probably including cholinergic nerve terminals, bronchial smooth muscle, epithelial and mononuclear inflammatory cells. The mechanism of action for PACAP...

synthesis of sulfides from alcohols and thiols in solvent-freeconditions and deoxygenation of sulfoxides

کاتالیست یک سنتز جدید برای تیواترها توصیف شده است. واکنش الکل ها با آریل، هتروآریل و آلکیل تیو ل ها درحضور 1،3،5- تری آزو- 2،4،6- تری فسفرین-2،2،4،4،6،6 هگزاکلراید ((tapc به عنوان یک کاتالیست موُثر، بازده های خوب تا عالی از تیواترها را حاصل می کند. علاوه براین، واکنش تحت شرایط بدون فلز و بدون حلال پیش می رود، بنابراین یک مکمل جالب برای روش های شناخته شده سنتز تیواترها ارائه می دهد. یک مکانیسم ا...

Cerebrovascular Effects of Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide and Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide in Newborn Pigs

Article history:Accepted 19 June 2007Available online 27 June 2007Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a cerebrovascular dilator andwas found neuroprotective in numerous in vitro and in vivo models of cerebral ischemia.However, the mechanism of its cerebrovascular action is poorly known, especially innewborns. Therefore, we tested pial arteriolar...

Inhibit Expression of Fas Ligand in Activated Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide and Pituitary

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide and vasoactive intestinal peptide inhibit dendritic growth in cultured sympathetic neurons.

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) are related neuropeptides that are released by the preganglionic sympathetic axons. These peptides have previously been implicated in the regulation of sympathetic neurotransmitter metabolism and cell survival in postganglionic sympathetic neurons. In this study we consider the possibility that PA...
