“In the short-term, octreotide significantly decreased the levels of serum GH, IGF-I, calcium , osteocalcin, carboxyterminal propeptide of type I collagen and alkaline phosphatase plus urinary excretion of calcium.”
“ Octreotide enhanced calcium retention by 30% (96 mg daily [P < 0.04]) in 7 boys for whom complete data (diet, urine, and fecal calcium) were available.”

“In rat pituitary tumour cells (GC cells), spontaneous oscillations of the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) induce growth hormone (GH) secretion that is inhibited by octreotide , a somatostatin (SRIF) agonist which binds to SRIF subtype (sst) receptor 2.”
