Forum of Clinical Oncology, 2023 Liposarcomas are malignant mesenchymal neoplasms that, although derived from adipocytes, may dedifferentiate to other cell types. We present an exceedingly rare case of epithelioid/neuroendocrine dedifferentiation with somatostatin expression of a ...

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.

Reduced brain somatostatin in mood disorders: a common pathophysiological substrate and drug target?
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013 Our knowledge of the pathophysiology of affect dysregulation has progressively increased, but the pharmacological treatments remain inadequate. Here, we summarize the current literature on deficits in somatostatin, an inhibitory modulatory neuropeptide ...

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 ...

Somatostatin in the rat periventricular nucleus: sex differences and effect of gonadal steroids [PDF]
, 2008 In the rat, the sexual dimorphism in growth hormone release is driven by sex steroids, and is suggested to result mainly from differences in somatostatin (SOM) release patterns from the median eminence.

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.

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).
