Melanocortins and reproduction

Brain Research Reviews, 2002
Obesity, anorexia and general body weight fluctuations cause a variety of effects on the reproductive system. Our understanding of the neuro-biological mechanisms of the connections between body weight and the reproductive axis is not especially developed despite a number of interesting physiological observations.

The melanocortin system

American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2003
The melanocortin system consists of melanocortin peptides derived from the proopiomelanocortin gene, five melanocortin receptors, two endogenous antagonists, and two ancillary proteins. This review provides an abbreviated account of the basic biochemistry, pharmacology, and physiology of the melanocortin system and highlights progress made in four ...

Brain effects of melanocortins☆

Pharmacological Research, 2009
The melanocortins (alpha, beta and gamma-melanocyte-stimulating hormones: MSHs; adrenocorticotrophic hormone: ACTH), a family of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides having in common the tetrapeptide sequence His-Phe-Arg-Trp, have progressively revealed an incredibly wide range of extra-hormonal effects, so to become one of the most promising ...

Melanocortins and cardiovascular regulation

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1998
The melanocortins form a family of pro-opiomelanocortin-derived peptides that have the melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) core sequence, His-Phe-Arg-Trp, in common. Melanocortins have been described as having a variety of cardiovascular effects. We review here what is known about the sites and mechanisms of action of the melanocortins with respect to
