Circuit dissection of the role of somatostatin in itch and pain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Stimuli that elicit itch are detected by sensory neurons that innervate the skin. This information is processed by the spinal cord; however, the way in which this occurs is still poorly understood.

Neurochemical characterisation of lamina II inhibitory interneurons that express GFP in the PrP-GFP mouse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background Inhibitory interneurons in the superficial dorsal horn play important roles in modulating sensory transmission, and these roles are thought to be performed by distinct functional populations. We have identified 4 non-overlapping classes among

Somatostatin receptor expression in parathyroid neoplasms

open access: yesEndocrine Connections, 2019
Introduction: Parathyroid carcinoma represents a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Distinguishing carcinoma from the benign tumors underlying primary hyperparathyroidism remains challenging.

Changes in serum somatostatin level and its association with calcium metabolism indicators in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and spinal injuries of degenerative-dystrophic and inflammatory genesis

open access: yesGastroenterologìa, 2022
Background. The study of clinical features, factors and levels of various biologically active substances that may play an important role in the pathogenetic mechanism of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in combination with degenerative-dystrophic ...

The therapeutic effect of the neuropeptide hormone somatostatin on Schistosoma mansoni caused liver fibrosis

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2005
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

Dedicated hippocampal inhibitory networks for locomotion and immobility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Network activity is strongly tied to animal movement; however, hippocampal circuits selectively engaged during locomotion or immobility remain poorly characterized.

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 ...

Reduced brain somatostatin in mood disorders: a common pathophysiological substrate and drug target?

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

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.

Bulk and Single-Nucleus Transcriptomics Highlight Intra-Telencephalic and Somatostatin Neurons in Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Cortical neuron loss is a pathological hallmark of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, it remains unclear which neuronal subtypes beyond broad excitatory and inhibitory classes are most vulnerable.
