vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)

Effects on Intestines, Stomach

The wording of the article seems unclear in terms of how VIP affects intestinal absorption. Is intestinal absorption inhibited?

I added the info re vaginal lubrication, it is from the following study "Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) provokes vaginal lubrication in normal women" --Valerophenone (talk) 07:02, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

VIP has a half-life (t½) in the blood of about two minutes.

Can we get the source for this?

signaling mechanisms

Some of these effects, like relaxation of smooth muscle, are known to be mediated through NO. Many/Most of the glucagon family hormone receptors act through raising cAMP. IMHO, this article could be improved with more info on signaling mechanisms.
