VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide)
History
VIP is a naturally occurring 28-amino acid neuropeptide first identified in 1970. It is widely distributed throughout the nervous system, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and immune system, where it helps regulate numerous physiological processes.
Research Use
Researchers study VIP for its potential role in:
Immune system regulation
Anti-inflammatory activity
Respiratory health
Gastrointestinal function
Blood vessel relaxation
Neuroprotection
Clinical Highlights
Investigated for reducing inflammation and regulating immune responses
Studied for pulmonary and respiratory conditions
May support intestinal barrier function and digestive health in research
Explored for neuroprotective and tissue-repair properties
Research is ongoing to better understand its therapeutic potential
