title: Effect of somatostatin on plasma C-peptide immunoreactivity in normal man.
abstract: The effect of somatostatin on plasma C-peptide immunoreactivity was studied in seven normal men following an intravenous 25 g glucose load. No elevation in plasma insulin was observed and similarly no rise in plasma C-peptide immunoreactivity occurred, indicating that somatostatin inhibits glucose-induced C-peptide release as well as insulin release.
