The somatostatin concentration increased in fundic and antral mucosa after 24 h and reached its highest value after 96 h of fasting. The number of specific somatostatin binding sites with high and low affinity decreased with the duration of fasting. Refeeding of fasted animals resulted in a normalisation to control values of gastric mucosal somatostatin and somatostatin binding. %K Somatostatin %K Rabbit %K Stomach %K Mucosa %K Bioquímica %K Biochemistry %K Science %K Ciencia %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
