The remaining islet cell tumors may produce other hormones, such as

vasoactive intestinal polypeptide is shown to be connected with the mammalian circadian clock and might help banish jet lag (2 November, p 10).
In addition, other hormones, including corticotropin - releasing factor,
vasoactive intestinal peptide, and arginine vasopressin stimulate while the corticosteroids and somatostatin inhibit adrenocorticotropin secretion.
The gene stimulates higher levels of certain peptides, including
vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-- which controls growth hormone release.»
