Role of somatostatin receptor-2 in gentamicin-induced auditory hair cell loss in the Mammalian inner ear. [PDF]
Hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons of the mammalian auditory system do not regenerate, and their loss leads to irreversible hearing loss. Aminoglycosides induce auditory hair cell death in vitro, and evidence suggests that phosphatidylinositol-3 ...

Somatostatin receptor expression in parathyroid neoplasms
Introduction: Parathyroid carcinoma represents a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Distinguishing carcinoma from the benign tumors underlying primary hyperparathyroidism remains challenging.

Carboxyl-terminal receptor domains control the differential dephosphorylation of somatostatin receptors by protein phosphatase 1 isoforms. [PDF]
We have recently identified protein phosphatase 1β (PP1β) as G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) phosphatase for the sst2 somatostatin receptor using siRNA knockdown screening.

E-cadherin expression is associated with somatostatin analogue response in acromegaly [PDF]
Acromegaly is a rare disease resulting from hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF1) typically caused by pituitary adenomas, which is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Somatostatin analogues (SSAs)

Radioiodinated somatostatin analogue RC-160: preparation, biological activity, in vivo application in rats and comparison with [123I-Tyr3]octreotide [PDF]
We have evaluated the potential usefulness of the radioiodinated octapeptide RC-160, a somatostatin analogue, which might serve as a radiopharmaceutical for the in vivo detection of somatostatin receptor-positive tumours. For this purpose, iodine-123 and

Growth Hormone (GH)-Releasing Peptide Stimulation of GH Release from Human Somatotroph Adenoma Cells: Interaction with GH-Releasing Hormone, Thyrotropin- Releasing Hormone, and Octreotide. [PDF]
The synthetic hexapeptide GH-releasing peptide (GHRP; His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) specifically stimulates GH secretion in humans in vivo and in animals in vitro and in vivo via a still unknown receptor and mechanism.
