Endocrine cells
found throughout the
GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
and in islets of the
PANCREAS
. D cells secrete
SOMATOSTATIN
that acts in both an endocrine and paracrine manner.
Somatostatin
acts on a variety of
tissues
including the
PITUITARY GLAND
;
gastrointestinal tract
;
pancreas
; and
KIDNEY
by inhibiting the release of
hormones
, such as
GROWTH HORMONE
;
GASTRIN
;
INSULIN
; and RENIN.
