ABSTRACT
A dose-response study of the effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on the exocrine pancreatic secretion of the rabbit has been made. Furthermore, the actions of VIP and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) on the exocrine pancreatic secretion were compared at a similar molar dose. After the infusion of VIP a linear dose-response relationship for pancreatic flow rate and bicarbonate output, up to the dose of 4 micrograms/kg, was observed. VIP acts as a partial agonist of secretin, the rabbit pancreas being less sensitive to VIP compared with other mammals. Moreover, VIP did not significantly stimulate the pancreatic protein output. PACAP stimulated the hydroelectrolyte fraction of the exocrine pancreatic secretion in a similar manner to that of VIP. Unlike what was observed with VIP, PACAP, on the same molar basis, significantly stimulated the protein and amylase outputs. Furthermore, PACAP releases VIP, so that the action of PACAP on the hydroelectrolyte fraction may be partially mediated by VIP; on the other hand, VIP is not involved in the effect of PACAP on the pancreatic enzyme secretion of this species.
