A newly diagnosed diabetic is discussing the disease with the nurse. The client asks about the hormones that might affect diabetes. Which is considered client teaching information about somatostatin?
A) It releases cortisol to help with stress.
B) It stimulates the release of a hormone.
C) It inhibits the release of insulin.
D) It stimulates the breakdown of fats and proteins.
C
Feedback:
Somatostatin inhibits the release of insulin and glucagon. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) from the hypothalamus causes the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone, not somatostatin, from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a hormone produced in the atrium of the heart, stimulates aldosterone release, not somatostatin. Glucagon stimulates the breakdown of fats and proteins, not somatostatin.
