Topical application of a melanotropin analogue to vulgar vitiligo dermo-epidermal minigrafts
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 Human subjects with active vulgar vitiligo do not respond well to autologous dermo-epidermal minigrafting. Eighteen subjects were treated with the a-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH) synthetic analogue [Nle4, D-Phe7]-a-MSH.

Curcumin suppresses α-melanocyte stimulating hormone-stimulated melanogenesis in B16F10 cells
, 2010 The present study was designed to assess the potential inhibitory activity of curcumin on the alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH)-stimulated melanogenesis signal pathway in B16F10 melanoma cells.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1980 alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) reversibly darkens frog skins by stimulating melanosome movement (dispersion) within melanophores. Heat-alkali treatment of alpha-MSH results in prolonged biological activity of the hormone.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.The facial SC lipid profiles of young Chinese women in the early aging stage exhibited significant changes with age. The average chain length of diacylglycerol, triacylglycerol and short‐chain ceramides decreases with age, while the cholesteryl ester and ceramide EO subclasses increase. Some ceramides correlate positively with TEWL, skin elasticity and

In vitro bioassay for the melanocyte stimulating hormone.
Endocrinology, 1954 In 1919 Atwell showed that extracts from mammalian pituitary glands darkened the skin of hypophysectomized tadpoles. Since then the active principle, considered a hormone, has been known as intermedin, melanophore dilating principle, melanophore hormone,

Anti‐melanogenic effects of Medicago sativa seed extracts on melanocytes
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.Our study demonstrated that two types of alfalfa seed extract: alfalfa ethanol precipitate (AEP) and alfalfa ethanol supernatant (AES) inhibited melanogenesis through the downregulation of tyrosinase expression, following the inactivation of CREB, b‐catenin and ERK signalling pathway in α‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (α‐MSH)‐stimulated B16F10 mouse ...

Hormonal regulation of colour change in eyes of a cryptic fish
Biology Open, 2015 Colour change of the skin in lower vertebrates such as fish has been a subject of great scientific and public interest. However, colour change also takes place in eyes of fish and while an increasing amount of data indicates its importance in behaviour ...

A novel approach to target skin photodamage: Topical application of salt inducible kinase inhibitors
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.UV‐induced photodamage leads to increased DNA damage and elevated MMP levels, which degrade collagen and contribute to wrinkle formation. SLT‐001 and SLT‐008, novel cosmetic ingredients that target salt‐inducible kinase, help reverse this effect by enhancing DNA repair, reducing MMP expression and decreasing erythema, thereby mitigating photodamage ...
