Talk:Somatostatin

Cleanup in "Actions" section
Under the actions at the anterior pituitary, "It is induced by low pH" should be moved elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.225.189.75 (talk) 13:55, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

in-Merger of "Octreotide"
I've taken the "Octreotide" article and brought it into this one. I did this for two reasons. First, as a method for clearing a Template:bio-stub. Second, and more importantly, because it provides an immediate context for the drug; as it mimics somatostatin, having it in the context of somatostatin makes sense to me. If you (other editors) do not agree with this, I would ask that you not separate the two concepts unless you are going to add substantially more information to the "Octreotide" article so that it can stand as a non-stub article.

No mention of Lanreotide
I would advise adding a section about Lanreotide http://www.dundee.ac.uk/medther/tayendoweb/lanreotide.htm

Somatostatin & Cancer
Does anybody know about the effects of somatostatin on cancer therapy. I found these articles Somatostatin in breast cancer, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21764706, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21937420, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21369878 Ipvariabile (talk) 20:19, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Rename article?
We currently have a growth-hormone-releasing hormone (somatocrinin) article and a somatostatin (growth hormone-inhibiting hormone) article – this should change. It should be either: or Tony Mach (talk) 10:38, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * somatocrinin and somatostatin
 * growth-hormone-releasing hormone and growth-hormone-inhibiting hormone

Invertebrate people
"All vertebrates have six genes.... Humans have one gene...." Therefore, humans aren't vertebrates! 172.56.26.71 (talk) 18:13, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The abstract of the reference used just says that zebrafish have those 6 genes. So I'll reword it to reflect that. - Rod57 (talk) 09:12, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Editing or elaboration
The statement "Somatostatin can also indirectly decrease stomach acid production by preventing the release of other hormones, including gastrin, secretin and histamine..." could require editing or elaboration. Preventing the release of Secretin which inhibits gastrin and gastric acid secretion could increase stomach acid production. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dromine86 (talk • contribs) 05:35, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Synthetic substitutes: DOTANOC?
In the section Synthetic substitutes, should DATANOC be described? Also should DATANOC have a page or redirect somwhere? Cheers, Facts707 (talk) 11:23, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
