Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a 28-aminoacid peptide, plays a multifunctional neuromodulatory role in both peripheral and central nervous systems. We have recently reported that VIP induces interferon (IFN) a/p synthesis in human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29. It has been reported that

## Abstract High blood ammonia, elevated glutamine, and hyponatremia are pathogenic factors contributing to astrocytic swelling and brain edema in liver failure. We investigated the effects of hypoosmolarity, ammonia, and glutamine on the induction of glial cell swelling in freshly isolated slices
## Abstract Retinal glial Müller cells are characterized by dominant K^+^ conductances. The cells may undergo changes of their membrane currents during ontogeny and gliosis as described in rabbit and man. Although the rat retina is often used in physiological experiments, the electrophysiology of r
