Somatostatin hormone molecules, illustration
Illustration of somatostatin hormone molecules. They activate the somatostatin receptor. After activation it inhibits the secretion of multiple hormones, e.g. the growth hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone. Therefore it is considered as a target for treating multiple tumours. Somatostin also inhibits insulin and glucagon secretion., by JUAN GAERTNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
