Anti-inflammatory treatment using alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) does not alter osteoblasts differentiation and fracture healing

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating-hormone (α-MSH) has been identified as a new anti-inflammatory treatment compound in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other inflammatory diseases.

Probing the Role of Melanocortin Type 1 Receptor Agonists in Diverse Immunological Diseases

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Background: The melanocortin α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), an endogenous peptide with high affinity for the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1r), has demonstrated prevention and reversal of intestinal and ocular inflammation in animal models ...

Unravelling the relationship between exercise‐induced affective responses and daily physical activity in people with chronic diseases: Spillover or confounding effect?

British Journal of Health Psychology, Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Objectives Exercise‐induced affective responses (ARs) may encourage people with chronic diseases (PCD) to engage in future physical activity (PA). This study examined whether AR timing during exercise predicts daily moderate‐to‐vigorous PA (MVPA) in PCD and explored two mediating pathways: the reflective affect processing pathway (via ...

A mixture of seaweed extracts and glycosaminoglycans from sea squirts inhibits α-MSH-induced melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2019
Background In the present study, the skin-whitening effects of a marine-sourced mixture that includes a fucoidan-rich extract of Undaria pinnatifida (UPEF), a phlorotannin-rich extract of Ecklonia cava (ECE), and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) from sea squirt

ACTH suppression and adverse effects of cabergoline in horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 9, Page e622-e630, September 2026.
Summary Background The diagnosis and management of pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) in horses includes evaluating abnormal plasma concentrations of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Treatment commonly includes the oral dopamine agonist pergolide mesylate, which suppresses the pathologic overproduction of ACTH.

Influence of Different Multilayer Zirconia Materials on the In Vitro Load‐Bearing Capacity of Resin‐Bonded Fixed Partial Dentures in the Posterior Region

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, Volume 38, Issue 9, Page 1854-1863, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Comparison of the load‐bearing capacity and failure pattern of posterior resin‐bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) differing in retainer design, zirconia material, and vertical nesting position. Materials and Methods RBFPDs replacing a maxillary first molar were fabricated with 2 retainer designs (inlay‐retained, IR; wing‐retained,

Preliminary study on MC1R polymorphism in some cattle breeds raised in Italy

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2011
Most of the Western European cattle breeds consist of standardised breeds with a definite coat colour (Renieri et al., 1984). Thus coat colour could be useful to detect genetic markers for cattle breed identification.

Structured Energy Conversion in Kelvin‐Helmholtz Instability

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract We present quantitative investigations of the energy conversion pathways—electromagnetic ϵEM $\left({{\epsilon}}^{EM}\right)$, fluid flow ϵf $\left({{\epsilon}}^{f}\right)$, and particle thermal ϵth $\left({{\epsilon}}^{th}\right)$ energies—within the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI) observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. We find

Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone contributes to an anti-inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide

Molecular Metabolism
Objective: During infection, metabolism and immunity react dynamically to promote survival through mechanisms that remain unclear. Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) cleavage products are produced and released in the brain and in the pituitary gland.
