The effects of free fatty acids on somatostatin secretion, content and mRNA levels in fetal rat hypothalamic and cortical cell cultures were investigated. Somatostatin secretion and content were quantified by radioimmunoassay. Somatostatin mRNA levels were measured by Northern blot hybridization using a cRNA probe. Treatment with either caprylic acid (5 x 10(-3) M) or oleic acid (5 x 10(-5) M) for 90 min inhibited basal somatostatin secretion in both hypothalamic and cortical cell cultures. In…

It is suggested that BHBA directly regulates GHRH synthesis and secretion via the GPR109A/ERK1/2 MAPK pathway, and also that Gsh‐1 is essential for this function.

It is hypothesized that somatotroph cells could be less sensitive to the negative feedback action of FFA in anorexia nervosa.

The observation that FFA reduction enhanced in an additive manner the GH secretion elicited by such different stimuli as pyridostigmine, GHRH, and GHRP-6, suggests that F FA suppression acts by a separate mechanism and may have value in the clinical setting for assessing GH reserve.

Better understanding of the function of GHRH, SS, and their receptors and, hence, of neural regulation of GH secretion in health and disease has been achieved with the discovery of a new class of fairly specific, orally active, small peptides and their congeners, the GH-releasing peptides, acting on specific, ubiquitous seven-transmembrane domain receptors, whose natural ligands are not yet known.
