somatostatin and immune regulation
Somatostatin is a peptide hormone produced by various cells in the body, including the immune cells. It plays a crucial role in immune regulation by modulating the activity of immune cells, such as T cells and macrophages. This helps to maintain a balanced immune response and prevent excessive inflammation or immune system dysfunction.
