On implications of somatostatin in diabetic retinopathy

Neural Regeneration Research
Somatostatin, a naturally produced neuroprotective peptide, depresses excitatory neurotransmission and exerts anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory effects on the retina.

Fluorescent ligands for studying neuropeptide receptors by confocal microscopy

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
This paper reviews the use of confocal microscopy as it pertains to the identification of G-protein coupled receptors and the study of their dynamic properties in cell cultures and in mammalian brain following their tagging with specific fluorescent ...

Towards a Radio-guided Surgery with $\beta^{-}$ Decays: Uptake of a somatostatin analogue (DOTATOC) in Meningioma and High Grade Glioma

, 2014
A novel radio guided surgery (RGS) technique for cerebral tumors using $\beta^{-}$ radiation is being developed. Checking the availability of a radio-tracer that can deliver a $\beta^{-}$ emitter to the tumor is a fundamental step in the deployment of ...

Pasireotide Long-Acting Release Treatment for Diabetic Cats with Underlying Hypersomatotropism [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Long‐term medical management of hypersomatotropism (HS) in cats has proved unrewarding. Pasireotide, a novel somatostatin analogue, decreases serum insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) and improves insulin sensitivity in cats with HS when ...

Totalsynthese von Somatostatin-28 (Big-Somatostatin) / Total Synthesis of Somatostatin-28 (Big Somatostatin)

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung B, 1980
The total synthesis of the octacosapeptide corresponding to the proposed primary structure of porcine somatostatin-28, a possible precursor of somatostatin, is described. The primary structure of somatostatin-28 corresponds to that of somatostatin elongated at the N-terminus by a tetradecapeptide sequence.

Somatostatin Neurons in the Basal Forebrain Promote High-Calorie Food Intake

Cell Reports, 2017
Obesity has become a global issue, and the overconsumption of food is thought to be a major contributor. However, the regulatory neural circuits that regulate palatable food consumption remain unclear.

Clinical Applications of Somatostatin Receptor (Agonist) PET Tracers beyond Neuroendocrine Tumors

Diagnostics, 2022
Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) agonist tracers used in nuclear medicine scans are classically used for neuroendocrine tumor diagnosis and staging. SSTR are however, expressed more widely in a variety of cells as seen in the distribution of physiological ...

19F NMR spectroscopy monitors ligand binding to recombinantly fluorine-labelled b'x from human protein disulphide isomerase (hPDI) [PDF]

, 2014
We report a protein-observe (19)F NMR-based ligand titration binding study of human PDI b'x with ?-somatostatin that also emphasises the need to optimise recombinant protein fluorination when using 5- or 6-fluoroindole.

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.
