16221967 Giusi G, Facciolo RM, Canonaco M, Alleva E, Belloni V, Dessi'-Fulgheri F, Santucci D: The endocrine disruptor atrazine accounts for a dimorphic somatostatinergic neuronal expression pattern in mice. Toxicol Sci. 2006 Jan;89(1):257-64. Epub 2005 Oct 12.

At the neuronal level, the neuropeptide somatostatin, specific for the secretion of growth hormone, seemed to be a major target of atrazine effects, as demonstrated by evident subtype2,3,5 receptor mRNA differences of this neuropeptide, at least for the first two subtypes.
