supplement:

Oxytocin

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Intracerebroventricular somatostatin infusion significantly increased plasma oxytocin secretion in both virgin female and pregnant rats.
The experiments indicate that somatostatin neurones in the NTS are activated during parturition but, because the direct effects of somatostatin on oxytocin neurones are inhibitory, this direct pathway does not appear to contribute to enhanced oxytocin release at this time, although indirect somatostatin effects may do so.

In this study, 2 ng of oxytocin decreased plasma levels of CCK, gastrin and somatostatin , effects that were blocked by pretreatment with atropine.

Feeding increased the plasma concentrations of somatostatin and gastrin but not of oxytocin, and somatostatin and oxytocin but not gastrin were released in response to i.p.
