The biologic actions of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) on insulin binding, glucose uptake and utilization, and on lipolysis were studied. At concentrations between 10(-10) and 10(-7) mol/l VIP influenced neither glucose uptake nor glucose incorporation into lipids under basal and insulin-stimulated conditions. This effect was independent of the presence of adenosine deaminase in the incubation medium. At 10(-8) mol/l VIP increased insulin binding affinity slightly but not significantly, shifting the ID-50 from 12.4 ng/ml to 10.3 ng/ml, without any change in receptor number. However, VIP showed a marked dose-dependent lipolytic activity with the lowest effective concentration at 10(-9) mol/l. At 10(-6) mol/l glycerol release increased 7.3-fold as compared to basal lipolysis. In conclusion, VIP did not affect adipose tissue metabolism at physiologic concentrations. In the rare Verner-Morrison syndrome, however, the potent lipolytic activity of VIP may contribute to the metabolic disturbances observed.
