Changes in the concentration of vasoactive intestinal peptide in intestinal lymph in response to vagal stimulation in the calf

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Stimulation of both vagi caused a significant rise in arterial plasma vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) concentration in 3–5-week-old calves with cut splanchnic nerves. This was associated with a pronounced rise in the VIP concentration of intestinal lymph showing that vagal stimulation causes release of VIP from splanchnic viscera.
