Prolactin is a protein hormone of the anterior pituitary gland that was originally named for its
ability to promote lactation in response to the suckling stimulus of hungry young mammals …

The secretion of growth hormone (GH) is regulated through a complex neuroendocrine
control system, especially by the functional interplay of two hypothalamic hypophysiotropic …

Recently, five members of the somatostatin receptor family have been cloned. However, little
is known about their cellular and subcellular localization in the central nervous system …

With the emergence of interest in studying the claustrum, a recent special issue of the
Journal of Comparative Neurology dedicated to the claustrum (Volume 525, Issue 6, pp …

The neurokinin-1 and somatostatin sst2a receptors have both been identified on spinal cord
neurons. In this study we have estimated the proportions of neurons in different parts of the …

Biological actions of somatostatin are exerted via a family of receptors, for which five genes
recently have been cloned. However, none of these receptor proteins has been visualized …

Somatostatin was first identified chemically in 1973, since when much has been established
about its synthesis, storage and release. It has important physiological actions, including a …

The neuropeptide somatostatin is widely distributed in the CNS and is believed to play a role
as a neurotransmitter or a neuromodulator. Somatostatin mediates its actions by the binding …

Somatostatin (SST) or somatotropin release-inhibiting factor (SRIF) was first discovered in
hypothalamic extracts as an activity that inhibited growth hormone secretion from cultured …

Using an antipeptide antibody, we reported previously on the distribution of the somatostatin
sst2A receptor subtype in rat brain. Depending on the region, immunolabeled receptors …
