Intestinal somatostatin function.

K Dharmsathaphorn

    Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Somatostatin, a gut hormone, regulates intestinal water and electrolyte balance. This peptide effectively reduces stool output in diarrhea, with potential for future oral therapies.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endocrinology
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Somatostatin is widely distributed in the gastrointestinal tract, present in D cells and neural elements.
    • It influences numerous gut hormones regulating digestive functions.
    • Its role in intestinal water and electrolyte absorption and secretion is significant.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the regulatory role of somatostatin in intestinal function.
    • To investigate the effects of somatostatin on epithelial transport and intestinal motility.
    • To assess the therapeutic potential of somatostatin in diarrheal conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on somatostatin's actions in the intestine.
    • Analysis of somatostatin's impact on water and electrolyte transport.

  • Evaluation of somatostatin's effect on intestinal motility and stool output.

    • Main Results:

    • Somatostatin administration inhibits water and electrolyte secretion in the intestine.
    • The peptide influences both epithelial transport and intestinal motility.
    • Somatostatin effectively reduces stool output in various diarrheal syndromes.

    Conclusions:

    • Somatostatin plays a crucial role in regulating intestinal water and electrolyte balance.
    • It demonstrates therapeutic efficacy in managing diarrhea, particularly in endocrine tumor-associated conditions.
    • Development of orally active or gut-specific somatostatin analogs is a promising future direction for clinical application.
