High levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide in human milk
TL;DR: The presence of immunoreactive vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in human milk has been demonstrated by high performance liquid chromatography and a specific radioimmunoassay.

Growth hormone releasing factor-like immunoreactivity in human milk
TL;DR: The presence of immunoreactive growth hormone-releasing factor in human milk has been demonstrated using sequential high performance liquid chromatography and it has been shown that most of the immunoreactivity co-elutes with the synthetic, hypothalamic-like, GRF.

Growth hormone releasing factor and somatostatin concentrations in the milk of lactating women.
TL;DR: No statistically significant correlation was found between the levels in milk of either of the neuropeptides and the gestational age at birth, however, lower values of GRF were found in milk obtained during established lactation than in Milk obtained close to delivery.

Immunoreactive and bioactive somatostatin-like material is present in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum).
TL;DR: Comparative chromatographic and immunological characterization of this peptide along with synthetic somatostatin-14 and -28, indicates that both molecular forms are present in the plant and raises questions concerning the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for the presence of this neuropeptide in plants.

Steroid regulation of somatostatin mRNA in the rat hypothalamus.
TL;DR: The results suggest that sex steroids are involved in the regulation of the somatostatin gene in the hypothalamus, possibly at the transcriptional level.
