Comparative studies with linear and cyclic somatostatin on the self-stimulation of rats. 1982

L Vécsei, and H Schwarzberg, and G Telegdy

In the present study the dose-related effects of linear and cyclic somatostatin were compared on the self-stimulation rate of rats. Twenty micrograms of linear somatostatin administered intracerebroventricularly (icv.) markedly decreased the self-stimulation rate, while 5 micrograms and 10 micrograms was ineffective. Cyclic somatostatin in a dose of 1 microgram caused a transitory but not significant increase in the self-stimulation rate, which later returned to the control level. Five micrograms and 10 micrograms of the peptide decreased the self-stimulation rate. These results indicate that the cyclic somatostatin is more effective in inhibiting the self-stimulation rate than the linear one.

D012653 Self Stimulation The act or process of inducing or increasing the level of arousal in oneself. It can be observed in various situations; for example, infants who are understimulated may explore their surroundings or babble to themselves.(https://dictionary.apa.org/self-stimulation accessed 12/30/2020) ICSS Intracranial Self-Stimulation,Intracranial Self Stimulation,Self-Stimulation,Intracranial Self Stimulations,Self Stimulation, Intracranial,Self Stimulations,Self Stimulations, Intracranial,Self-Stimulations,Stimulation, Self,Stimulations, Self
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.
