Abstract  

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) belongs to the secretin, glucagon, and vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP) family. PACAP is widely distributed in the brain and peripheral organs, notably in the endocrine pancreas, gonads, respiratory and urogenital tracts. PACAP play important roles in metabolism and neuroprotection. Diabetes is a common chronic metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar. Its complications have become the main cause of mortality and disability in diabetes patients. The knowledge accumulated over the past years on the role of this neuropeptide in diabetes and its major complications, particularly emphasizing its potential for new therapeutic approaches were outlined.
