“…Somatostatin dose-dependently inhibits exocrine secretion of various gastrointestinal organs (such as secre tion of gastric acid and pepsinogen, pancreatic secretion, bile flow, and ductular hepatic secretion) [40,61,62], and neuroendocrine secretion (such as secretion of gastrin, CCK, secretin, VIP (vasoactive intestinal polypeptide), G1P (gastric inhibitory polypeptide), motilin, acetylcho line, insulin, glucagon, and pancreatic polypeptide) [33, 39, 44, 46, 60, 63. 64], There is general agreement that exogenous somatosta tin dose-dependently inhibits interdigestive pancreatic enzyme secretion in the experimental animal [47,58,65] and in humans [66,67], Studies on its effects on interdi gestive water and bicarbonate secretion show, however, conflicting results [42,57], Somatostatin markedly inhib ited pancreatic enzyme secretion in animals [47,58,65,68,69] and humans [52,53,57,66,70] stimulated by var ious peptides and neural mechanisms [47,65,68].…”
