inhibits oxytocin
Somatostatin is a hormone that inhibits the release of several other hormones. It is known to inhibit insulin (released by pancreatic beta - cells) and glucagon (released by pancreatic alpha - cells). Calcitonin is mainly regulated by calcium levels and not directly by somatostatin. Oxytocin is regulated by neural mechanisms (e.g., during childbirth and lactation) and not by somatostatin.
