Abstract
The effect of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) on the contractile activity of the urinary bladder was investigated in the rat. VIP caused a weak contraction and a small potentiation of carbachol- and acetylcholine-induced contractions. The present results may provide the evidence that VIP could be a modulator in the urinary bladder. © 1992 S. Karger AG, Basel.
