Changes in the physiology, neurochemistry and structure of neurons, particularly of their dendritic spines, are thought to be crucial players in age-related cognitive decline. One of the most studied brain structures affected by aging is the hippocampus,

Cellular mechanisms underlying central sensitization in a mouse model of chronic muscle pain
Chronic pain disorders are often associated with negative emotions, including anxiety and depression. The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) has emerged as an integrative hub for nociceptive and affective components during central pain development ...

Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in retinal diseases [PDF]
Somatostatin is a small neuropeptide that is producedin the central nervous system, where it acts as aneurotransmitter. This neuropeptide also has animportant role in the neuroendocrine system as aninhibitor of hormone release, the most strikingexample of which is the inhibition of growth hormonerelease.

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 ...

Overview of Radiolabeled Somatostatin Analogs for Cancer Imaging and Therapy
Identified in 1973, somatostatin (SST) is a cyclic hormone peptide with a short biological half-life. Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are widely expressed in the whole body, with five subtypes described. The interaction between SST and its receptors leads

Somatostatin receptor expression in parathyroid neoplasms
Introduction: Parathyroid carcinoma represents a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Distinguishing carcinoma from the benign tumors underlying primary hyperparathyroidism remains challenging.

Background The neuropeptide somatostatin is one of the major regulatory peptides in the central nervous system and the digestive tract. Our recent work has delineated an association between fibrosis and low levels of endogenous somatostatin plasma levels

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

E-cadherin expression is associated with somatostatin analogue response in acromegaly [PDF]
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)
