<unk>  is a synthetic analogue of somatostatin, a naturally occurring inhibitory hormone which blocks the release of several other hormones, including growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), insulin and glucagon.<unk>  binds to the same receptors as somatostatin, although with higher affinity to peripheral receptors, and has similar activity. However, while somatostatin is quickly broken down in the body (within minutes),<unk>  has a much longer half-life, and produces far more prolonged effects. The efficacy of<unk>  has not been extensively studied, and results differ greatly between trials and formulations.
