Effect of starvation on somatostatin content of pancreas and gastrointestinal tract of the guinea pig. 1982

The effect of 48-hour starvation on the somatostatin contents of the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract was studied in the guinea pig. Somatostatin contents were higher in various portions of the stomach and pancreas of fed guinea pigs than in fed rats and unchanged after 48-hour starvation, in spite of the decreased blood glucose level. These results suggest that somatostatin may not play the same physiological role in nutrient homeostasis of guinea pigs as it does in other species.

D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.

D013004 Somatostatin A 14-amino acid peptide named for its ability to inhibit pituitary GROWTH HORMONE release, also called somatotropin release-inhibiting factor. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, the gut, and other organs. SRIF can also inhibit the release of THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE; PROLACTIN; INSULIN; and GLUCAGON besides acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. In a number of species including humans, there is an additional form of somatostatin, SRIF-28 with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal.
