Somatostatin is a peptide hormone primarily released from the delta cells of the pancreas and the hypothalamus. It plays a crucial role in inhibiting the release of several other hormones, including growth hormone and insulin. Additionally, somatostatin is found in the gastrointestinal tract, where it regulates digestive processes. Its diverse functions make it important for maintaining homeostasis in various physiological systems.

Where is somatostatin released from?
Somatostatin is an inhibitor of growth hormone release from the anterior pituitary and suppresses the release of a variety of other hormones involved in the regulation of important physiological functions of the gastrointestinal tract.
What do D cells secrete?
D-cells, or Delta cells, can be found in the stomach, intestine, or Islets of Langerhans (the hormone producing regions of the pancreas which also produce glucagon and insulin). Delta cells produce somatostatin, a regulatory hormone. When somatostatin is released it interacts with specialized receptor cells, these cells control the production of other hormones. Somatostatin coming in contact with a somatostatin receptor will inhibit the production of hormones that receptor controls.
Is somatostatin a polar molecule?

What inhibit gastric motility?
Somatostatin
Amylase lipase carboxypeptidase somatostatin and elastase which is not produced by the acini of the pancreas?
Somatostatin is not produced by the acini of the pancreas. It is primarily produced by delta cells in the pancreatic islets (islets of Langerhans) and acts as an inhibitor of many gastrointestinal functions, including the secretion of insulin and glucagon.
What hormone is secreted by gastric mucosa?
Somatostatin
What hormone is secreted by the pancreas?
Several hormones are secreted by the pancreas. They include insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic peptide.
What cell produces somatostatin?
Delta cells, also known as D cells, are responsible for producing somatostatin in the pancreas. Somatostatin is a hormone that inhibits the secretion of other hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, and has various functions in the body including regulating digestion and inhibiting the release of growth hormone.
What is the treatment for pituitary tumors?
Hormone-secreting tumors can be successfully treated with surgery, radiation, bromocriptine (Parlodel), Sandostatin (Octreotide), or other somatostatin analogues (drugs similar to somatostatin).
What produces somatostatin?
The pancreas, Stomach & Upper intestine. It is a Hormone.
What gland secretes Somatostatin?
The pancreas along with glucagon and insulin.
What does the pancreas release?
The pancreas is endocrine (producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin). The most important is insulin which controls the take-up of glucose by the body's cells.
