Pasireotide for the Medical Management of Feline Hypersomatotropism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Feline hypersomatotropism (HST) is a cause of diabetes mellitus in cats. Pasireotide is a novel multireceptor ligand somatostatin analog that improves biochemical control of humans with HST.

An expression signature of the angiogenic response in gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumours: correlation with tumour phenotype and survival outcomes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) are heterogeneous with respect to biological behaviour and prognosis. As angiogenesis is a renowned pathogenic hallmark as well as a therapeutic target, we aimed to investigate the ...

Recent Advances in the Modeling of Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers 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).

Human Pancreas GH-Releasing Factor Analog Restores High-Amplitude GH Pulses in CNS Lesion-Induced GH Deficiency [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Lesions of the ventromedial-arcuate (VMH-ARC) region of the hypothalamus result in impaired growth accompanied by a marked suppression in spontaneous GH secretory bursts. We studied the effects of an analog of the recently characterized human pancreas GH-

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

open access: yes, 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.

Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in retinal diseases [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean 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.

Long Acting Somatostatin Analogue: Clinical Potential for Gastrointestinal Disease

open access: yesCanadian 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

Duodenal carcinoid tumour – a case report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Duodenal carcinoids are rare tumours of the small intestine with heterogenous clinical and pathological characteristics. The long-term prognosis is very good if discovered in the early stages.

Somatostatin receptors

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2003
In 1972, Brazeau et al. isolated somatostatin (somatotropin release-inhibiting factor, SRIF), a cyclic polypeptide with two biologically active isoforms (SRIF-14 and SRIF-28). This event prompted the successful quest for SRIF receptors. Then, nearly a quarter of a century later, it was announced that a neuropeptide, to be named cortistatin (CST), had ...

Somatostatin/somatostatin receptor signalling: Phosphotyrosine phosphatases [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular 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 ...
