Vasoactive intestinal peptide degradation might influence Interleukin-17 expression in cardiac chagasic patients
ABSTRACT The vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) expression is lower in cardiac chagasic patients and is related to worse cardiac function. The reduction of VIP in patients with Chagas disease may be a result of its enhanced degradation. To test this hypothesis, the tryptase and chymase expression w...
