Abstract
The following review outlines the physiological outcome of VIP and VIP gene manipulations. Previously, we reviewed the various VIP receptors associated with biological functions ranging from growth regulation, sexual function, bronchodilation, vasodilation and immune interactions to neurotrophism. VIP-based drug design is discussed below.
