Correct Answer

Explanation

Somatostatin is a hormone that works against the growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and inhibits the release of growth hormone (GH), as well as other hormones like thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and glucagon. However, dopamine is not affected by somatostatin's inhibitory effect. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that also functions as a prolactin-inhibiting hormone (PIH) and inhibits the release of prolactin from the anterior pituitary.
