Beta-melanocyte stimulating hormone levels in subjects with hyperpigmentation associated with megaloblastic anemia.

Dietary deficiency has been claimed to be the principal cause. However, this anemia has been observed in well-to-do women whose diet was satisfactory.

متن کاملY2-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone
Peptides of the pro-opiocortin class produce pronounced cardiovascular and natriuretic actions. We have investigated the acute cardiovascular effects of one of the most potent members of this class, y2-melanocyte stimulating hormone (y2-MSH), in rats. Pressor actions of y2MSH administered systemicaMy were eliminated by ganglionic blockade with chlorisondamine. Peripheral cholinergic blockade fa...
متن کاملCutaneous Hyperpigmentation in Megaloblastic Anemia: a Five Year Retrospective Review
BACKGROUND Cutaneous hyperpigmentation is an often overlooked clinical sign in megaloblastic anemia (MA) which has been sporadically reported in the literature. METHODS We describe the bone marrow (BM) changes and clinicolaboratory characteristics of 25 of 198 adult cases (>16 years) with cutaneous hyperpigmentation who underwent BM evaluation for cytopenia (s). RESULTS Twenty-one of 25 cas...
متن کاملDynamic changes of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone levels in the serum of patients with craniocerebral trauma
The aim of the study was to investigate dynamic changes in α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) levels in the serum of patients with craniocerebral trauma. Forty-eight patients with acute craniocerebral injury were selected between January 2015 and October 2016. The patients were divided into three groups: severe (18 cases), moderate (16 cases) and mild (14 cases), according to the Glasgow ...
