Somatostatin analog (SMS 201-995) inhibits the basal and angiotensin II-stimulated 3H-thymidine uptake by rat adrenal glands

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1990 Feb 14;166(3):1171-5. doi: 10.1016/0006-291x(90)90989-z.

Abstract

The effects of a long-acting somatostatin analog SMS 201-995 injections on the basal and angiotensin II-stimulated [3H]-thymidine uptake by the rat adrenal glands incubated in vitro were examined. It was shown that SMS 201-995 significantly inhibited the [3H]-thymidine uptake and, additionally, suppressed the stimulatory effect of a single angiotensin II injection.
