octreotide

As nouns the difference between terms and octreotide

is that terms is while octreotide is (pharmacy) an octapeptide that mimics natural somatostatin pharmacologically, though it is a more potent inhibitor of growth hormone, glucagon and insulin than the natural hormone.

As a noun octreotide is

(pharmacy) an octapeptide that mimics natural somatostatin pharmacologically, though it is a more potent inhibitor of growth hormone, glucagon and insulin than the natural hormone.

As nouns the difference between insulin and octreotide

is that insulin is insulin (polypeptide hormone) while octreotide is (pharmacy) an octapeptide that mimics natural somatostatin pharmacologically, though it is a more potent inhibitor of growth hormone, glucagon and insulin than the natural hormone.

As nouns the difference between glucagon and octreotide

is that glucagon is a hormone, produced by the pancreas, that opposes the action of insulin by stimulating the production of sugar while octreotide is an octapeptide that mimics natural somatostatin pharmacologically, though it is a more potent inhibitor of growth hormone, glucagon and insulin than the natural hormone.
