check all that apply
inhibits insulin
inhibits calcitonin
inhibits glucagon
inhibits oxytocin

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

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.

Answer:

Inhibits insulin, Inhibits glucagon
