Among the regulatory peptide molecules,some are recognized as true hormones.Which substance is a paracrine rather than a hormone?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Somatostatin functions as both a hormone and a paracrine signal. However, in the context of distinguishing substances primarily recognized as hormones from those acting in a paracrine manner, somatostatin can act locally in tissues (paracrine) influencing nearby cells, which differentiates it from the others listed that are primarily recognized for their hormonal (endocrine) roles.
