Here, we showed that PACAP27 protects against neurotoxicity induced by rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD).

PACAP specifically protects against the neurotoxicity induced by rotenone as well as protecting against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.
Autoimmunity affecting certain vasoactive neuropeptides (VNs) has been postulated as contributing to certain fatigue-related conditions in humans and may be consistent with compromise of receptors associated with VNs and including receptors for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP).

Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) has neuroprotective effects in various neuronal cultures and in models of brain pathologies in vivo.
Among others, it protects dopaminergic neurons in vitro, against 6-OHDA- and rotenone-induced injury.
