Chemistry of the Melanocyte-stimulating Hormones

1966
The melanocyte stimulating hormones (MSH; intermedin) of the pituitary gland are polypeptides of low molecular weight. Although assays of naturally-occurring and synthetic corticotropins (ACTH) have unequivocally demonstrated that ACTH possesses an intrinsic melanocyte-stimulating activity, most of the melanocyte-stimulating activity found in the whole

MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONE AND PARKINSONISM

The Lancet, 1973
Abstract Circulating b-melanocyte-stimulating-hormone (β-M.S.H.) levels were found to be increased in parkinsonism, especially when the disease was bilateral. This explains the seborrhœa of parkinsonism. The defect in M.S.H. secretion is likely to be part of a widespread neuroendocrine abnormality in parkinsonism.

Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone and Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone

New England Journal of Medicine, 1964
HYPERPIGMENTATION in patients with adrenocortical insufficiency or some kinds of pituitary tumors is produced by increased release from the pituitary gland of peptide hormones that cause melanocytes to darken.1 2 3 These peptides are the melanocyte-stimulating hormones (alpha and beta MSH) and adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH). The background of this subject

Adrenocorticotropin and Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone in the Brain*

Endocrinology, 1979
We employed several ACTH immunoassays using antisera with affinities for differing regions of the molecule as well as an ACTH bioassay to further study the distribution and character of ACTH in rat, cat, and monkey brain. Acid extracts of brain tissues were examined for N-terminal and midportion ACTH concentrations and MSH content.
