Molecular identification of somatostatin family in tilapia and the effect of food intake on pss2 and sstr3a.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Somatostatin (SS) plays an important role in regulating food intake and following digestive functions of vertebrates mediated via somatostatin receptor (SSTR). However, the feedback regulation by which food intake regulate SS and SSTRs expression, and thereby their functions, remains poorly understood. Here, we cloned somatostatin genes (pss1, pss2 and pss3) and somatostatin receptors genes (sstr2a, sstr2b, sstr2c, sstr3a, sstr3b, sstr5a and sstr5b) from tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus and conducted their tissue distribution. Phylogenetic analysis and genomic synteny maps revealed their high homology across the vertebrates and evolution history. Following, synthesized SS-14 and SS-28 were both confirmed to bind to SSTRs and mediated Erk1/2 or Akt phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner and time-course effect in 293T cell line as well as tilapia primary hepatocytes. It was observed that the expression levels of SS family showed dynamic change during food intake. In the early stages of feeding, pss2 expressed in gastric epithelium was down-regulated by food intake, and the following low pH after feeding reversed to up-regulate the pss2 mRNA level. This down and up dynamic change hinted that the first down pss2 prompted food digesting and the next up pss2 inhibited digestion, but it might need further explore to prove. Compared with it, sstr3a expression levels in submucosa up-regulated after feeding but did not display dynamic change. Our results contribute to the understanding of how somatostatin family respond to food intake during different stages of feeding, which provides basis for subsequent study of their function in gastrointestine of tilapia.
