Does somatostatin in each organ act specifically on that particular organ?
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine
|September 1, 1979
Abstract:
Rats with hypercalcemia induced by injection of vitamin D2 had a decreased thyroid somatostatin content, whereas the somatostatin content in their pancreas was almost within the normal range. This suggests that somatostatin in different organs acts specifically on each particular organ as a local hormone or hormone-like substance.
