Behavioral effects of melanocyte stimulating hormone
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 1980Abstract Consideration of the isolation, structure, localization, and biological actions of melanocyte stimulating hormone are followed by a review of its behavioral effects. Evidence pertaining to various hypotheses offered in explanation of these behavioral effects is examined and evaluated.

Natriuretic Properties of Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormones
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1993Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a protein that contains the amino acid sequences of numerous peptide hormones, including the melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSH). MSH peptides of alpha, beta, and gamma primary structure are present in plasma, and all exhibit natriuretic activity.

α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone and behavior
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 1982Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) has putative adaptive significance in all forms of species where it is present. In mammals the polypeptide chain influences learning, memory and attention. Chemically MSH shares the first 13 (alpha-MSH) or the first 18 or 22 (beta-MSH) amino acids with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), even though the mechanisms ...

The Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormones
1962Publisher Summary From a research standpoint the subject of hormonal control of pigmentation is only forty-six years old. It began when two biologists, P. E. Smith and B. M. Allen independently and at the same time, found that removing the pituitary glands of tadpoles and frogs produced marked lightening in the color of their skin.

A radioimmunoassay for γ-melanocyte stimulating hormone
Life Sciences, 1980A specific radioimmunoassay for ..gamma..-melanocyte stimulating hormone-like peptides was developed. An antiserum raised in rabbit to synthetic bovine ..gamma../sub 3/-MSH, one of the possible ..gamma..-MSH peptides, specifically recognizes the portion between His/sup 5/ and Arg/sup 14/ of ..gamma../sub 3/-MSH without significant cross-reaction with ...

Endocrinology, 1979
Pseudopregnancy (PSP) was induced in rats by vaginal stimulation and the levels of MSH in serum and pituitary were examined. One hour after vaginal stimulation, the serum MSH level was increased, and a cyclical variation was observed by the second day of PSP. There were two surges of about 50 pg/ml, one in the morning and the other at night.

α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone
JAMA, 1991"Black Skin or White? Science Offers a Choice" was the premature headline for an article written in 1980. 1 Even in 1991, science has not provided individuals with the ability to lighten, darken, or modify the hue of their skin. Tanning by exposure to sunlight or to artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation darkens skin but is considered dangerous ...

Hormone-Replacement Therapy for Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Deficiency
New England Journal of Medicine, 2016The first law of endocrine disease treatment is that an absent hormone should be replaced. As they report in this issue of the Journal, Kuhnen et al.1 successfully applied this principle to two adult patients with genetic proopiomelanocortin deficiency, and both patients had impressive hunger reduction and weight loss as well as improved insulin ...
