SSTR1 and SSTR5 subtypes are the dominant forms of somatostatin receptor in neuroendocrine tumors.
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010 The effectiveness of the long acting somatostatin analogues like octreotide and lanreotide depends on the expression of specific somatostatin receptors on the target cells.

Overview of Radiolabeled Somatostatin Analogs for Cancer Imaging and Therapy
Molecules, 2020 Identified in 1973, somatostatin (SST) is a cyclic hormone peptide with a short biological half-life. Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are widely expressed in the whole body, with five subtypes described. The interaction between SST and its receptors leads

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Acromegaly: pathogenesis & treatment [PDF]
, 2019 Acromegaly is a multi-system disorder whose etiology is most often traced back to a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Growth hormone (GH) secretion promotes insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) release from peripheral tissues, leading to ...

A computational study of somatostatin subtype-4 receptor agonist binding
SN Applied Sciences, 2022 The somatostatin subtype-4 receptor (sst4) is highly expressed in neocortical and hippocampal areas, which are affected by amyloid beta accumulation. Sst4 agonists enhance downstream activity of amyloid beta peptide catabolism through neprilysin and may ...

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]
, 1994 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.
