A compound named for its role in inhibiting the release of this hormone is mimicked by Lanreotide.
One study showed that estrogen level controls endogenous production of this compound in the hippocampus, and another study showed that starving mice secrete FGF21 to block the action of this compound. A fetal form of this hormone alters a mother's metabolism to channel energy to the fetus, and is placental lactogen. A compound named for its role in inhibiting the release of this hormone is mimicked by Lanreotide. Many of this hormone's indirect effects are mediated by "insulin-like" factors. The aforementioned inhibitor, produced by the delta cells of the pancreas, is somatostatin. Its recombinant form is commonly called somatropin, and this hormone is sometimes called somatotrophin. FTP, name this polypeptide synthesized by the anterior pituitary, which stimulates cell growth and reproduction, and is abused by athletes.
