Somatostatin. Somatostatin, also called growth hormone-inhibiting hormone, is a 14-amino-acid peptide found in the gastrointestinal tract, the hypothalamus, and the 6-cells of the pancreatic islets. Although somatostatin does not appear to have a direct effect on carbohydrate metabolism, it inhibits the release of growth hormone from the pituitary. In addition, somatostatin inhibits secretion of glucagon and insulin by the pancreas, thus modulating the reciprocal relationship between these two hormones.

This insulin effect of growth hormone observed in vivo may also explain some of the discrepancies observed between in vivo and in vitro effects of growth hormones on glucose uptake by muscle. Whereas growth hormone inhibits glucose uptake in vitro, in vivo its inhibitory effect is compensated for by the insulin secreted as a result of liver gluconeogenesis. 

With insulin stimulating and growth hormone inhibiting, it is interesting to note the extent to which each hormone is able to counteract the other s influence. This is demonstrated in Table III. 

The role of hypothalamic releasing hormones on synthesis of pituitary hormones cannot be fully described at present and it is possible that if it is established that release is secondary to synthesis, some modification of this nomenclature may be desirable. The term "factor" should be retained only for those principles the specificity of action of idiich is in doubt or not established (MRF, MSH-releasing factor Growth hormone-inhibiting factor, GIF), but not for those that are obviously artifacts.
