    Glossary Somatostatin

    peptide hormone that inhibits growth hormone and insulin release

    Somatostatin, also known as Growth Hormone-Inhibiting Hormone (GHIH), is a peptide hormone that regulates the endocrine system by inhibiting the release of several other hormones, including growth hormone and insulin. It is produced in various tissues throughout the body, including the hypothalamus, pancreas, and gastrointestinal tract, and plays a crucial role in maintaining hormonal balance and digestive processes.
