TL;DR
Combined immunocytochemical methods, and histological methods for endocrine granules, have demonstrated that the normal pancreatic D cell contains a product with G.I.H.H-like immunoreactivity, which suggests that it may play an important role in digestive physiology.
Abstract
The normal pancreatic D cell has been well recognised since 1931, but its secretory product has not been identified with certainty. Combined immunocytochemical methods, and histological methods for endocrine granules, have demonstrated that it contains a product with G.H.-R.I.H.-like immunoreactivity. G.H.-R.I.H. has also been localised in the upper gastrointestinal tract, tentatively in the morphologically similar D cell of the Wiesbaden classification. The potent actions of this peptide on pancreatic and gastrointestinal function suggest that it may play an important role in digestive physiology.

A group of apparently unrelated endocrine cells, some in endocrine glands, others in nonendocrine tissues, share a number of cytochemical and ultrastructural characteristics which indicate the possession of a common metabolic pattern and common synthetic, storage and secretion mechanisms.

Small amounts of antibody were occasionally visible in cells in the lymphoid follicles of the spleen and lymph nodes, so that a minor contribution by lymphocytes to antibody synthesis cannot be excluded.

The hypothalamic polypeptide growth-hormone release-inhibiting hormone (G.H.R.I.H.) inhibited gastrin release in all subjects studied and greatly lowered plasma-gastrin concentrations and almost totally suppressed gastric-acid production.

The presence of a neurohormone in cells of this type confirms their close association with the nervous system, and suggests that their postulated origin from the nervousSystem may well be correct.

Plasma protein appears to contain substance(s) immunologically indistinguishable from GH-RIH or to interfere, in a nonspecific manner, with the radioimmunoassay system for GH-Rih, suggesting the antigenic determinant involved the amino acid sequence from position 3-14 of GH- RIH or part of it.

Growth-hormone release-inhibiting hormone impairs the release of glucagon and insulin as well as G.H.-R.I.H. during oral glucose tolerance and intravenous arginine tests; patients with acromegaly, diabetes mellitus, and hypopituitarism aswell as healthy individuals were studied.

The serial, semithin-thin-section technique offers an alternative, which provides absolute correlation between cell type and hormone production, and is illustrated here by localization of motilin in the enterochromaffin cells of the small intestine.

Serial section immunofluorescence for enteroglucagon and vasoactive intestinal peptide indicated that the two cells were not identical and that each was differently localized in the mucosa, leaving the D cell of the Wiesbaden classification as the most likely site for the production of vaso active intestinal peptides.

To find out if growth-hormone release-inhibiting hormone (G.I.H.) had any direct action on gastric acid production independent of its effect on gastrin release, cyclic G.H.-R.H. was infused into dogs with gastric fistulae and acid output fell sharply in response to three stimuli acid production.
