9. Somatostatin Hormone
Pancreatic somatostatin hormone is produced by the delta cells in the islets of Langerhans.
This hormone inhibits the production of both insulin and glucagon. It can also decrease acid production in the stomach directly or indirectly. Other forms of somatostatin hormone are produced in other sites in the body including the brain (hypothalamus).
