abstract：:Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) caused significant breakdown of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in GH3 cells, but vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) did not. However, VIP enhanced the TRH-induced hydrolysis of PIP2, the conversion of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) to PIP2 and the accumulation...
