title: Somatostatin inhibits the release of acetylcholine induced electrically in the myenteric plexus.
abstract: Somatostatin inhibits the release of acetylcholine electrically induced in the myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle of the guinea pig ileum. This effect is not mediated by opiate receptors. Tachyphylaxis to this effect of somatostatin has been observed.
