• Description: Physalaemin is a vasoactive intestinal peptide that belongs to the family of exocrine hormones. It is resistant to intracellular degradation and has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of vasopressin. Physalaemin has been shown to affect blood pressure by stimulating receptors in the brain that decrease blood pressure, as well as blocking naloxone-induced increases in blood pressure. Physalaemin also interacts with pancreatic cells, which may be due to its amino acid composition and ability to inhibit the release of caerulein from the pancreas. The effects on muscle cells are unknown, but it has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the pancreas and intestine.
