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

A V Edwards et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

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.
