Growth Hormone (GH)-Releasing Peptide Stimulation of GH Release from Human Somatotroph Adenoma Cells: Interaction with GH-Releasing Hormone, Thyrotropin- Releasing Hormone, and Octreotide. [PDF]
, 1994 The synthetic hexapeptide GH-releasing peptide (GHRP; His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) specifically stimulates GH secretion in humans in vivo and in animals in vitro and in vivo via a still unknown receptor and mechanism.

The somatostatinergic system in the mammalian cochlea
BMC Neuroscience, 2011 Background Little is known about expression and function of the somatostatinergic system in the mammalian cochlea. We have previously shown that somatostatin administration may have a protective effect on gentamicin-induced hair cell loss. In this study,

Somatostatin receptors in human adrenal gland tumors--immunohistochemical study.
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2008 Somatostatin receptors subtypes (SSTR 1-5) were demonstrated in surgically obtained adrenal gland tumors by means of immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results of the present study demonstrate that somatostatin receptors are expressed in adrenal tumors in a ...

Somatostatin/somatostatin receptor signalling: Phosphotyrosine phosphatases [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2008 Activation of phosphotyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) by somatostatin receptor (SSTR) represents one of the main intracellular mechanisms involved in the antiproliferative effect of somatostatin (SST) and analogues. Since their molecular cloning, the role of PTPs is emerging as a major regulator of different cell functions including cell proliferation ...

E-cadherin expression is associated with somatostatin analogue response in acromegaly [PDF]
, 2018 Acromegaly is a rare disease resulting from hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF1) typically caused by pituitary adenomas, which is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Somatostatin analogues (SSAs)
