A Transgenic Rat for Investigating the Anatomy and Function of Corticotrophin Releasing Factor Circuits. [PDF]

, 2015
Corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) is a 41 amino acid neuropeptide that coordinates adaptive responses to stress. CRF projections from neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) to the brainstem are of particular interest for their role in ...

Exploring key features of selectivity in somatostatin receptors through molecular dynamics simulations

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal
Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are widely distributed throughout the human body and play crucial roles in various physiological processes. They are recognized as key targets for both radiotherapy and radiodiagnosis due to their overexpression in several ...

The Superior Therapeutic Properties of SOM230 Originate from Unique Structural Elements

CHIMIA, 2004
A rational drug design approach involving transposition of functional groups from SRIF into a reduced size cyclohexapeptide template has led to the discovery of SOM230, a novel, stable cyclohexapeptide somatostatin mimic which exhibits unique ...

Treatment options for PNET liver metastases. a systematic review [PDF]

, 2018
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare pancreatic neoplasms. About 40-80% of patients with PNET are metastatic at presentation, usually involving the liver (40-93%). Liver metastasis represents the most significant prognostic factor.

Current Status of Radiopharmaceuticals for the Theranostics of Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Pharmaceuticals, 2017
: Nuclear medicine plays a pivotal role in the management of patients affected by neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Radiolabeled somatostatin receptor analogs are by far the most advanced radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and therapy (radiotheranostics ...

The organisation of spinoparabrachial neurons in the mouse [PDF]

, 2015
The anterolateral tract (ALT), which originates from neurons in lamina I and the deep dorsal horn, represents a major ascending output through which nociceptive information is transmitted to brain areas involved in pain perception.

The decrease in growth hormone (GH) response after repeated stimulation with GH-Releasing hormone is partly caused by an elevation of somatostatin tonus. [PDF]

, 1996
Repeated injection of GHRH leads to a decrease in the GH response in normal subjects. Arginine (Arg) stimulates GH secretion by suppression of hypothalamic somatostatin.
