Somatostatin, Somatostatin Receptors, and Pancreatic Cancer
World Journal of Surgery, 2005AbstractSomatostatin may play an important role in the regulation of cancer growth including pancreatic cancer by interaction with somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) on the cell surface. Five SSTRs were cloned, and the function of these SSTRs is addressed in this review.

The pharmacological effects (i.e., inhibition of endocrine secretion and cell proliferation) mediated by the hormone somatostatin (SRIF) are derived from its universal high-affinity binding to five different G proteincoupled receptors (GPCRs), named sst1-5.

Somatostatin and Somatostatin Receptor Physiology
Endocrine, 2003Since the discovery of somatostatin (SST) over three decades ago, its ubiquitous distribution and manifold functions are still being documented. SST is synthesized in the hypothalamus and transported to the anterior pituitary gland where it tonicaly inhibits GH and TSH secretion as well as being responsible for GH pulsatile release.

Somatostatin is a neuropeptide produced by neuroendocrine, inflammatory and immune cells in response to different stimuli. Somatostatin inhibits various cellular functions including secretions, motility and proliferation. Its action is mediated by five specific somatostatin receptors (sst1-sst5) which belong to the G protein-coupled receptor family ...

Somatostatin analogues: Are they analogues of somatostatin?
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2002Dear Sir, Somatostatin (SRIH) was discovered because of its surprising inhibitory effect on GH secretion (1), and thus appropriately named. Later on, its ubiquitousness and the inhibiting activity on pancreatic hormones and on other types of hormones, rendered its name too restrictive. It was by then too late to change it.

Metabolism, 1990
Hippocampal neurons containing somatostatin have been shown to be vulnerable in some experimental models of epilepsy. In this report, we describe our recent findings about the seizure-related changes in somatostatin in brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in experimental and human epilepsy.

Lung Cancer, 1993
Lung carcinoma is the most common cause of death in the western world and is increasing particularly among women. Despite significant developments in our understanding of the molecular biology of this disease our ability to treat the various subtypes of lung cancer has been at a relative standstill for the past decade.

The Journal of Peptide Research, 2001
Abstract: Somatostatin is a hypothalamic peptide hormone that inhibits the secretion of growth hormone, glucagon, insulin, gastrin and secretin, and also plays a role in neural transmission. Because of its wide range of possible clinical applications hundreds of somatostatin analogs have been synthesized and bioassayed to date.

[Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in the prostate].
Minerva endocrinologica, 2001Somatostatin (st) exerts a role in the control of prostate growth and function acting both at hypothalamus-hypophysis level and at glandular level. St analogues have been used to control prostate cancer (CaP) in clinical trials, with contradictory results.

This is a review of pancreatic somatostatin which is limited in its scope and therefore focuses upon some selected issues. Throughout the entire review the same basic questions recur: Why do islets contain somatostatin? What is the physiological role of somatostatin and what does this peptide have to do with diabetes?
