Somatostatin Inhibition Tactics

Meaning

Somatostatin Inhibition Tactics are clinical or nutritional strategies specifically employed to transiently suppress the release or action of somatostatin, a potent inhibitory hormone, with the primary goal of enhancing the secretion of growth hormone (GH) and other anabolic peptides. Somatostatin acts as a negative regulator of GH release from the pituitary gland. Strategic inhibition aims to create a brief, permissive window for a robust GH pulse, thereby maximizing the body’s natural regenerative and anabolic capacity, particularly during sleep or post-exercise.
