Abstract
This article is aimed at reviewing and analyzing studies that are related to the possible therapeutic use of a potent and ubiquitously-distributed hormone--somato-statin (SS-14), and its analogues. Administration of these substances has provided beneficial effects in treating acromegaly, gastro-intestinal hemorrhagic and hypersecretory disorders, acute pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, and certain types of cancer. Further studies with SS-14-analogues might provide new therapies for treating certain life-threatening disorders of man.Entities:
