Nature of Peptide/CargoA key penile neurotransmitter, induces erection after local injection in man. Significantly increased sexual function as measured by copulatory activity and penile reflexes(erections) in testosterone-treated, castrated rats.
MechanismVIP stimulates contractility in the heart, causes vasodilation, increases glycogenolysis, lowers arterial blood pressure and relaxes the smooth muscle of trachea, stomach and gall bladder.
