  • Title: Inhibition of exocrine pancreatic secretion by somatostatin in dogs.
    Author: Susini C, Esteve JP, Bommelaer G, Vaysse N, Ribet A.
    Journal: Digestion; 1978; 18(5-6):384-93. PubMed ID: 750262.
    Abstract:
    The effect of somatostatin on the pancreatic exocrine response to different doses of exogenous stimuli and the somatostatin dose-response relationships on pancreatic secretion were studied in conscious dogs. Somatostatin caused a strong inhibition of basal or slightly stimulated pancreatic secretion but failed to inhibit the maximal responses, suggesting that somatostatin interacts with secretin or caerulein by a competitive mechanism. A higher maximal percentage of inhibition and a dose-response relationship was observed with protein outputs and enzyme concentrations. Volumes and bicarbonate outputs were also inhibited but the maximal percentage of inhibition was lower.
