GROWTH HORMONE RELEASE INHIBITORY HORMONE-LIKE IMMUNOREACTIVITY IN PANCREAS AND GUT IN STREPTOZOTOCIN DIABETES IN THE RAT AND RESPONSE TO INSULIN ADMINISTRATION
1979
SUMMARY
In streptozotocin diabetes in the rat, growth hormone release-inhibitory hormone-like immunoreactivity (GHRIH-LI) content of pancreas, gastric antrum and colon was increased. Insulin therapy significantly lowered the increased pancreatic GHRIH-LI content but did not affect that of the gastric antrum and colon at the dosage used. The relevance of these findings in relation to pancreatic and gastrointestinal function in diabetes awaits clarification.
