The Association Between Somatostatin Receptor Ligand and Vitamin B12 in Patients with Acromegaly
Endocrinology Research and Practice, 2022 Objective: Vitamin B12 deficiency causes hematologic and neuropsychiatric disorders, thus it is important to evaluate it in risky situations. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between somatostatin receptor ligands and vitamin B12 in ...

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.

The somatostatinergic system in the mammalian cochlea
BMC Neuroscience, 2011 Background Little is known about expression and function of the somatostatinergic system in the mammalian cochlea. We have previously shown that somatostatin administration may have a protective effect on gentamicin-induced hair cell loss. In this study,

Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2022 SUMMARY A 59-year-old woman with follicular thyroid carcinoma underwent total thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine treatment. Following treatment, the whole-body scan did not show any abnormal radioiodine uptake. However, during the follow-up, the serum

Somatostatin and Somatostatin Receptors in Tumour Biology
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Somatostatin (SST), a growth hormone inhibitory peptide, is expressed in endocrine and non-endocrine tissues, immune cells and the central nervous system (CNS). Post-release from secretory or immune cells, the first most appreciated role that SST exhibits is the antiproliferative effect in target tissue that served as a potential therapeutic ...

Somatostatin receptor imaging. the presence of somatostatin receptors in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1994 AbstractObjective. To investigate the in vivo and in vitro expression of somatostatin receptors (SS‐R) on synovial membranes of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods. The joints of 14 consecutive patients with active RA, 4 patients with severe osteoarthritis (OA), and 30 control patients were studied.

Molecular imaging for neuroendocrine tumours
Swiss Medical Weekly, 2019 Molecular imaging has found numerous applications in oncology as many tumours express or activate tumour specific target molecules or pathways. This relatively new imaging technique results in a better localisation of tumours and improved tumour ...

The somatostatin 2A receptor is enriched in migrating neurons during rat and human brain development and stimulates migration and axonal outgrowth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The neuropeptide somatostatin has been suggested to play an important role during neuronal development in addition to its established modulatory impact on neuroendocrine, motor and cognitive functions in adults.
