Abstract
Synthetisches Somatostatin hemmt bei gesunden männlichen Probanden den durch Endotoxin (Piromen®) hervorgerufenen Wachstumshormonanstieg im Plasma, ohne jedoch den Plasma-Kortisolspiegel zu beeinflussen. Die durch Endotoxin induzierte Leukocytose im Blut wird durch Somatostatin signifikant vermindert. Die Plasmaspiegel des Insulin sowie der Blutzucker werden zunächst signifikant reduziert; noch während der Somatostatininfusion erreichen beide Parameter den Normalbereich. In normal man synthetic somatostatin inhibits the growth hormone response to intravenous administration of endotoxin (Piromen), but exerts no influence on cortisol plasma levels. Endotoxin-induced leukocytosis in blood is significantly reduced by somatostatin. Plasma levels of insulin and the blood sugar in man receiving endotoxin are firstly reduced in a significant manner and then increasing to normal values during somatostatin infusion.Keywords
