Studies on factors influencing human plasma alpha-MSH.

Anticancer research, 1990
The various physiological effects of alpha-MSH, mainly on the CNS and on pigmentation in animal models, are well documented in the literature. Only a few investigators have confirmed similar properties in the human. However, the possible physiopathological role played by this hormone in human melanoma is still poorly defined.

Molecular basis of the alpha-MSH/IL-1 antagonism.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000
The neuropeptide alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) is recognized as a potent mediator of immune and inflammatory reactions. Accordingly, alpha-MSH in vitro, as well as in vivo, antagonizes the proinflammatory activities of cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha). Since the molecular basis

[Effect of ultraviolet rays on alpha-MSH plasma concentration].

Zeitschrift fur Hautkrankheiten, 1984
Influence of Ultraviolet Rays on alpha-MSH Plasmaconcentration. Ultraviolet total-body irradiation induces changes of alpha-MSH plasmaconcentration dependent on wave-length of the source of radiation as well as skin type of the volunteers. Following UV-A total-body irradiation, we observed a significant increase of the proteohormone alpha-MSH, whereas ...

Studies of alpha-MSH-containing nerves in the brain.

Progress in biochemical pharmacology, 1981
alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) immunofluorescence was observed in the rat brain using a highly specific and well-characterized antibody. alpha-MSH was contained in the arcuate nucleus cell bodies and in varicose fibers distributed throughout the brain stem. alpha-MSH-containing fibers were present in various nuclei of the hypothalamus,

[Modification of alpha-MSH by UVA irradiation of the skin].

Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 1983
On 40 healthy male volunteers with different pigmentation level (Caucasians: skin types I-III, negroes: skin type VI) the basal alpha-MSH-secretion as well as the influence of UV-A-wholebody-irradiation (6 J/cm2) on alpha-MSH-serum concentration were measured.

Release of LH in response to alpha-MSH administration.

Acta physiologica et pharmacologica latinoamericana : organo de la Asociacion Latinoamericana de Ciencias Fisiologicas y de la Asociacion Latinoamericana de Farmacologia, 1986
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of alpha-MSH on serum LH in order to obtain some clues about the possible, mechanism by which the peptide modifies gonadotropin secretion. Intact female rats treated with alpha-MSH on diestrus 2 afternoon exhibited an increase in serum LH levels at 18 hr on proestrus and an elevated number of ova
