[The influence of somatostatin on serum gastrin concentrations in patients after total duodenopancreatectomy (author's transl)]. 1977

H Pointner, and U Flegel, and K H Tragl, and G Hengl

Serum gastrin concentrations were measured in insulin-dependent diabetics and in patients who had undergone total duodenopancreatectomy and gastrectomy. Administration of somatostatin markedly inhibited gastrin release in the diabetic patients with an intact gastrointestinal tract. This inhibitory effect of somatostatin, however, is not detectable in the group of operated patients, who display basically low plasma gastrin levels. A marked increase in the plasma gastrin level after withdrawal of somatostatin was observed in patients with a normal gastrointestinal tract. This rebound effect was only slight in the operated patients.

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.
