Abstract
Treatment of rats with growth hormone [GH] partially prevented depletion of somatostatin from the median eminence when therapy was begun immediately following hypophysectomy, and partially restored somatostatin when treatment was initiated after a prolonged posthypophysectomy interval. GH tends to increase the store of somatostatin in the median eminence.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
