Seasonal changes in plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone and α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in response to thyrotropin-releasing hormone in normal, aged horses.

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2011
BACKGROUND Results of diagnostic tests for equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), including endogenous ACTH concentration and the overnight dexamethasone suppression test (DST), are affected by season.

The effect of geographic location, breed, and pituitary dysfunction on seasonal adrenocorticotropin and α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone plasma concentrations in horses.

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2011
BACKGROUND Plasma α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) concentrations in horses vary with season, confounding diagnostic testing for pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID).

Sebum Excretion and Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone in Hypoadrenalism

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1974
The sebum excretion rate (SER) was measured in 6 patients with Addison's disease and to patients with Cushing's disease treated by bilateral adrenalectomy, all of whom were taking appropriate replacement therapy. Plasma β MSH concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay in β of the patients.

Shared Lineage, Distinct Outcomes: Yap and Taz Loss Differentially Impact Schwann and Olfactory Ensheathing Cell Development Without Disrupting GnRH‐1 Migration

Glia, EarlyView.
OECs, SCs, and Mel derive from SCPs. Sox10Cre;YapHet;TazKO mice show impaired SC maturation, reduced Mel formation, fewer SCPs, OECs, and olfactory neurons, but normal GnRH‐1 neuron migration. ABSTRACT Olfactory Ensheathing Cells (OECs) are glial cells originating from the neural crest and are critical for bundling olfactory axons to the brain.

Rare POMC Mutation in a Patient With Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 and Adrenocorticotropin Hyperresponse to Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone

AACE Clinical Case Reports, 2019
: Objective: Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a monogenic disorder. It is caused by expansion of a cytosine-thymineguanine triplet in the DMPK gene which encodes for myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK).Methods: A 24-year-old man with DM and the DMPK ...

The natriuretic mechanism of Gamma-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone [PDF]

Peptides, 2011
Gamma-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (Gamma-MSH) regulates sodium (Na(+)) balance and blood pressure through activation of the melanocortin receptor 3 (MC3-R). The mechanism of the natriuretic effect is proposed to involve binding of MC3-R either in the kidney to directly inhibit tubular Na(+) transport or in the brain to inhibit central neural ...

Diffuse Melanosis Cutis Under Immuno‐ and Targeted Therapy

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In patients with highly advanced melanoma, rarely a diffuse melanosis cutis (DMC) can be noticed. Even though the condition is generally harmless itself, it can have a significant impact on the patient's well‐being as an obvious mark of the disease. DMC causes a grey or brown discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes. We report on a young

A C-terminal fragment of Agouti-related protein increases feeding and antagonizes the effect of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone in vivo.

Endocrinology, 1998
Agouti-related protein (Agrp) is present in rat and human hypothalamus and is structurally related to agouti protein. Overexpression of either of these proteins results in obesity.
