Question

Somatostatin is an inhibitor of ______.

विकल्प

• Insulin

• Glucagon

• Both insulin and glucagon

• Vasopressin

Answer 1

Somatostatin is an inhibitor of both insulin and glucagon.

Explanation:

Somatostatin is secreted by the delta cells of the islets of Langerhans and inhibits the secretion of both insulin and glucagon. Vasopressin is secreted by the posterior pituitary and is not inhibited directly by pancreatic somatostatin.
