Article Synopsis
- Somatostatin, typically known for inhibiting releases in the body, was found to enhance protein secretion in rat submandibular glands under certain conditions, particularly when stimulated by adrenergic and peptidergic agents.
- In both in vivo and in vitro studies, somatostatin infusion increased protein release in response to noradrenaline and substance P, while it had no impact on isoprenaline-induced release.
- The study suggests that somatostatin works by prolonging elevated cytosolic calcium levels in acinar cells after stimulation, boosting protein secretion.
Background: Gastroenteritis is one of the most common diseases affecting children and rotavirus is the major etiological agent worldwide. Although the role of rotaviruses as a causal agent of gastroenteritis has been previously established in Argentina, little is known about the frequency of other gastrointestinal viruses.
Objectives: The present study was designed to determine the frequency of calicivirus in comparison with rotavirus, astrovirus and adenovirus type 40/41 in our country.
