Description:
Free (approximately 1600 daltons) somatostatin-like immunoreactivity was identified in arterial plasma of dogs that had received a test meal. Neutralization of circulating somatostatin while the dogs were consuming a fatty meal increased the plasma concentrations of triglycerides, gastrin, pancreatic polypeptide, and insulin after the meal. It is concluded that, in the dog, somatostatin is a true hormone that regulates the movement of nutrients from the gut to the internal environment.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schusdziarra, V -- Zyznar, E -- Rouiller, D -- Boden, G -- Brown, J C -- Arimura, A -- Unger, R H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Feb 1;207(4430):530-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7352262" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
