STIMULATION BY GROWTH HORMONE OF SOMATOSTATIN RELEASE FROM THE RAT HYPOTHALAMUS IN VITRO

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) has been shown to cause a dose-dependent increase in the release of immunoreactive somatostatin from the rat hypothalamus in vitro, thus providing further evidence that GH may be involved in a "short loop" feedback, controlling its own secretion via hypothalamic somatostatin release.
