Resumo

Somatostatin may act as a local regulator of endocrine and exocrine secretion and as a peptidergic neurotransmitter rather than as a classical circulating hormone. The possible physiologic role of its secretion in the regulation of islet A and B cell function, and particularly its significance in nutrient homeostasis and diabetes, are discussed.
