متن کاملA new bioassay of VIP: results in watery diarrhoea syndrome.
Cyclic AMP accumulation in human colon adenocarcinoma cells in culture (HT-29) is known to be particularly sensitive to the stimulating action of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). This property was exploited as a means of investigating the possible role of VIP as a humoral mediator in the watery diarrhoea syndrome. Our results showed that plasma from two patients with watery diarrhoea syndro...
