'''Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)''' plays a role within the intestines and acts to greatly increase the secretion of water and electrolytes. VIP also causes dilation of the smooth muscle within the peripheral smooth muscles and inhibits [[[Gut_Endocrine_Function_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|gastrin-stimulated]] gastric acid secretion. The neuropeptide '''vasopressin''' is responsible for metabolism and maintainence of the metabolic rate. The overall affect of VIP is to increase gastric motility.
