In the mammalian brain, a major regulatory peptide is vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP).
This 28 amino acid peptide, originally isolated from the porcine duodenum, was later found in …

The neuroprotective properties of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate
cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) place these peptides in a special category of …

The clinical manifestations of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) often include
neuropsychiatric and neurological deficits 1–4 , including early memory loss and progressive …

: The vulnerability of neurons and the irreversibility of loss make discoveries of neuroprotective
compounds fundamentally important. Here, the complete coding sequence of a novel …

Accelerated neuronal death brings about cognitive as well as motor and other dysfunctions.
A major neuropeptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), has been shown to be …

We have recently cloned the mouse activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP).
Here, we disclose the cloning of human ADNP (hADNP) from a fetal brain cDNA library. …

We have recently cloned the novel homeobox-containing activity-dependent neuroprotective
protein (ADNP). In the current study, mouse ADNP was shown to be expressed at the time …

Objective: We sought to determine whether vitamin D status is associated with developing
new T2 lesions or contrast‐enhancing lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in …

FACTORS controlling central nervous system (CNS) growth immediately after neurulation are
mostly unknown. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors are widely distributed in the …

Brain injury induces disruption of the blood-brain barrier, edema, and release of autodestructive
factors that produce delayed neuronal damage. NAPSVIPQ (NAP), a femtomolar-acting …
