Backup Mechanisms Maintain PACAP/VIP-Induced Arterial Relaxations in Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide-Deficient Mice

Conclusion: Our data suggest that in PACAP deficiency, backup mechanisms maintain arterial relaxations to polypeptides, indicating an important physiological role for the PACAP pathway in the regulation of vascular tone.J Vasc Res 2017;54:180-192
