  • Title: Role of somatostatin and its analogues in the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes mellitus.
    Author: Gerich JE.
    Journal: Metabolism; 1990 Sep; 39(9 Suppl 2):52-4. PubMed ID: 1976221.
    Abstract:
    Somatostatin secreted by pancreatic D cells is a potent inhibitor of insulin, glucagon and growth hormone secretion, as well as other cells. The role of abnormal pancreatic D-cell function in diabetes mellitus is unclear. However, development of long-acting selective somatostatin analogs might prove useful in the treatment of diabetes.
