somatostatin and thyroid function
Somatostatin is a hormone produced by the brain and various organs in the body that helps regulate the secretion of other hormones. It plays a role in inhibiting the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and consequently affects the function of the thyroid gland, which is responsible for producing thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism and growth.
