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 feeding behavior

Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy, 2000
The melanocortin (ACTH/MSH) peptides exert a number of central effects. In the eighties, we described for the first time a role for melanocortins in the central control of appetite. We showed that the injection of ACTH-(1-24) into a brain lateral ventricle reduced food intake up to 76.6% in starved rats.

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 ...

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.
