Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In this study the vascular effects of VIP were studied in connection with its secretory performances in the pancreas and the liver. In anesthetized dogs pancreatic blood flow was measured parallel with measurement of bile and pancreatic secretion. VIP was injected intravenously at intervals of 1 minute in amounts of 1-2048 ng.kg-1. Striking conductance increases were observed in the pancreatic vascular beds ranging from an increase of 400% (pancreatic branch of splenic a.) to an increase of 80% (inferior pancreatic duodenal a.). Pancreatic secretion increased from 0 to 408 microliters.min-1 and bile secretion from 95 to 145 microliters.min-1. VIP has powerful vasodilating effects on pancreatic vascular beds accompanying pancreatic secretion and bile secretion. Porcine VIP and 2 synthetic VIP analogues exhibited similar hemodynamic and metabolic actions. Although a correlation between vascular and metabolic effects possibly exists, the effects of VIP on gut vessels and pancreatic secretory cells are most probably separate events: at low VIP doses increase in conductance was observed without a concomitant increased secretion. A possible role of VIP maintaining an adequate blood supply to the pancreas is discussed.
