(Bacterial Infections...) :
In the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus, a major neuroendocrine and autonomic center, gamma ( 2 ) -MSH inhibits LPS induced increases in CRF mRNA levels, but does not suppress LPS augmented arginine vasopressin heteronuclear RNA expression
Sobel et al., Endocr Res 1990
:
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) plus arginine vasopressin (AVP) induce immunoassayable ( 1-13 ) ACTH ( alpha MSH ) from mononuclear leukocytes
Shizume et al., Yale J Biol Med 1985
(Adenoma...) :
Finally there are presented the characterization of gamma-MSH, the hypothermic effect of intracisternal administration of gamma-MSH, the effect of corticortropin releasing factor on increased secretion of alpha-MSH from rat pituitary, and the effect of arginine vasopressin on secretion of alpha-MSH from pituitary adenoma
