Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in retinal diseases [PDF]
European Journal of Endocrinology, 2000 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.

Cellular mechanisms underlying central sensitization in a mouse model of chronic muscle pain
eLife, 2022 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 ...

Recent Advances in the Modeling of Alzheimer’s Disease
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Since 1995, more than 100 transgenic (Tg) mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been generated in which mutant amyloid precursor protein (APP) or APP/presenilin 1 (PS1) cDNA is overexpressed (1st generation models).

Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in Cushing's disease [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2008 Cushing's disease is caused by an ACTH secreting pituitary adenoma. Surgery is the treatment of choice and cure rates between 60 and 90% are reported. For patients in which surgery fails, effective medical treatment options are needed. Somatostatin (SS) receptors (sst) are expressed on normal and tumoral corticotroph cells.

Long Acting Somatostatin Analogue: Clinical Potential for Gastrointestinal Disease
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1989 Name somatostatin is found throughout the gastrointestinal tract and has a wide variety of biological actions. Nevertheless, its short biological half-life and limited stability necessitate its use via continuous parenteral infusion and, thus, limits its

Somatostatin and Somatostatin Receptors in Tumour Biology
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Somatostatin (SST), a growth hormone inhibitory peptide, is expressed in endocrine and non-endocrine tissues, immune cells and the central nervous system (CNS). Post-release from secretory or immune cells, the first most appreciated role that SST exhibits is the antiproliferative effect in target tissue that served as a potential therapeutic ...
