Risk factors and management of pasireotide-associated hyperglycemia in acromegaly
Pasireotide, a multireceptor-targeted somatostatin analog with highest affinity for somatostatin receptor subtype (SST) 5, has demonstrated superio r efficacy over the SST2-preferential somatostatin analogs octreotide and lanreotide.

Role of somatostatin receptors in normal and tumoral pituitary corticotropic cells [PDF]
Normal and tumoral pituitary corticotropic cells express sst2and sst5, of which sst5is the predominantly expressed receptor subtype. Somatostatin (SS) inhibits pituitary adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) secretion in vitro, but the sensitivity to SS is ...

Evaluation of PepT1 (SLC15A1) Substrate Characteristics of Therapeutic Cyclic Peptides
The human peptide transporter hPepT1 (SLC15A1), physiologically transporting dipeptides and tripeptides generated during food digestion, also plays a role in the uptake of small bioactive peptides and peptide-like drugs.

Medical Management of Polycystic Liver Disease: A Position Statement From the European Reference Network on Hepatological Diseases. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by progressive liver enlargement due to multiple cysts. The main symptoms are liver volume‐related. Although randomised controlled trials have shown that somatostatin analogues (SSAs) reduce liver volume as well as symptoms, specific guidance on when and how to use SSAs in

Cushing’s disease: Does low-dose pasireotide offer a comparable efficacy and safety to high-dose?
Whilst literature is expanding on pasireotide use in the management of Cushing’s disease (CD), there is still currently much unknown about long-term and low-dose pasireotide use in CD. We present a 60-year-old female with residual CD after transphenoidal

Somatostatin Analogues in the Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors: Past, Present and Future [PDF]
In recent decades, the incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has steadily increased. Due to the slow-growing nature of these tumors and the lack of early symptoms, most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, when curative treatment options are no ...
