Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health

In the study of "Effects of ascorbic acid on the vasoactive intestinal peptide synthesis in the ileum submucous plexus of normal rats" by Zanoni JN, Freitas P. posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers found that a significant increase of the cellular profile of VIP-ergic neurons in untreated control with 210 days when compared to untreated control with 90 days. The cellular profile of VIP-ergic neurons in ascorbic acid-treated rats with 210 days was bigger than those observed in others groups.
