Inhibition of glucose-induced insulin secretion by somatostatin in goats. 1983

M A Maglad, and I A Wasfi, and S E Adam

Somatostatin inhibited glucose-induced insulin secretion in intact goats. The duration of the inhibition was short (10 minutes) which suggests that somatostatin was rapidly metabolised. The inhibitory effect of somatostatin was followed by a recovery period during which high levels of insulin were attained. These higher concentrations of insulin in the 30 to 60 minutes after somatostatin infusion, were accompanied by lowered free fatty acid and beta-hydroxybutyrate concentrations. It is suggested that the effects of somatostatin on these metabolites is brought about by modulation of insulin secretion and not by a direct effect of somatostatin on target tissues.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

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.
