Pancreatic somatostatin cells have been studied in human neonates and adults using an immunoperoxidase technique. Their volume density in the head, isthmus, corpus and tail of the gland has been estimated by morphometry. Somatostatin cells were about 20 times more frequent in the neonate (5% of all

Big plasma somatostatin (BPS) represents an artifact of measurement. High-molecularweight globulins (CY, 8, and y) in human plasma inhibit, in a concentration-dependent manner, the binding of radiolabeled somatostatin analogs to antibody directed against somatostatin. The magnitude of inhibition var
Background: Our previous studies on the Chacma baboon revealed that the most striking difference between islets of the ventral and dorsal regions of the pancreas was their content of A and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) cells with A cells predominating in the tail and PP cells in the uncinate and head.
