12 adolescents referred for excessive height prediction were studied. Somatostatin like immunoreactivity (SLI) and plasma GH levels were measured during saline infusion and after TRH injection. SLI ...

Patients with diabetes have high blood glucose levels either because their pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin, or their body cells do not respond to signals from insulin that tell them to ...

Background: Acute pancreatitis is the most common complication of endoscopic retrogade cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), occurring in 1-10% of patients. Several substances have been used, with negative ...

Somatostatin, a signaling molecule produced by many inhibitory neurons in the brain, broadly dampens communication among a variety of cell types in the prefrontal cortex and promotes exploratory and ...

Phase I and pharmacologic studies of the camptothecin analog irinotecan administered every 3 weeks in cancer patients. Diarrhea is one of the dose-limiting toxicities for administration of ...

A model for a biologically active conformation of somatostatin is proposed. This model is based primarily on the biological results obtained with novel bicyclic somatostatin analogs having a covalent ...
