1.	Ganglion Cysts (Ganglion) 01/01/1999 - "The maximum increase (21 +/- 5%) was observed after the injection of 5 microg helodermin, whereas 16 +/- 7% was seen with helospectin I and 19 + 5% with helospectin II. The results suggest that helospectin/helodermin-like peptides co-localize with VIP in perivascular nerve fibers originating in the sphenopalatine ganglion. "
