  We study the interaction of vector mesons with the octet of stable baryons in
the framework of the local hidden gauge formalism using a coupled channels
unitary approach, including also the pseudoscalar-baryon channels which couple
to the same quantum numbers. We examine the scattering amplitudes and their
poles, which can be associated to known $J^P=1/2^-,3/2^-$ baryon resonances,
and determine the role of the pseudoscalar-baryon channels, changing the width
and eventually the mass of the resonances generated with only the basis of
vector-baryon states.
