The effect of human GRF 44 upon somatostatin-inhibited pancreatic and gastric secretions was studied in rats with chronic fistulas. GRF did not show any antagonist action of somatostatin on these gastro-intestinal organs. GRF alone had a small inhibitory effect on gastric acid output.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
