The distribution of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) binding sites in the pigeon brain was examined by in vitro autoradiography on slide-mounted sections. A fully characterized monoiodinated form of VIP, which maintains the biological activity of the na ...
Mammalian brain contains 3 peptides related to the pro-somatostatin molecule: somatostatin-14 (SS14), the form originally identified from hypothalamic extracts, somatostatin-28 (SS28) and somatostatin 28 (1-12) (SS28 (1-12)). By using antibodies which sele ...
A growing number of biologically active peptides is being identified within the central nervous system (CNS). According to currently accepted criteria, several of these peptides, including VIP, can be viewed as neurotransmitters. Recent immunohistochemical ...
We have examined the effects of hGRF on cyclic AMP and glycogen levels in mouse cerebral cortical slices. hGRF-44-NH2 and hGRF-28-OH did not stimulate cyclic AMP formation nor glycogenolysis and did not antagonize the stimulatory effects of VIP on cyclic A ...
The binding characteristics of a monoiodinated form of vasoactive intestinal peptide (M-[125I]VIP) to the membranes of astrocytes, intraparenchymal microvessels and synaptosomes were analyzed in mouse cerebral cortex. Binding to astrocytes, studied in prim ...
By using immune sera which recognize one or more of the 3 peptides, somatostatin-14 (SS14), somatostatin-28 (SS28) and somatostatin-28(1-12) (SS28(1-12)) we have characterized their immunohistochemical distribution in the hippocampal formation. There exist ...
