Mechanism of action of somatostatin in pancreatic β-cells: oxidative metabolism, glycolysis pathway and role of extracellular calcium influx

The mechanism of action of somatostatin (SRIF) has been extensively studied during the last five decades since the discovery of the peptide in 1974. However, there are many concealed actions of the peptide to control insulin secretion from pancreatic β–cells. This can contribute to resolving the dil...
