Abstract
The finding of somatostatin-like immunoreactivity in the D-cells of the pancreas and in the lamina propria in the gastric wall1 has given evidence for a role of this peptide in the regulation of pancreatic and gastric functions. The recent discovery by Uvnäs-Wallensten et al. of somatostatin-like material in the gastric secretion2 and the description by Larsson et al. of a patient with a somatostatinoma3 give further support to the idea of a regulatory role of somatostatin in this area. In this presentation, the effects of somatostatin on the stomach will be reviewed and discussed.
