Plasma ACTH and melanocyte-stimulating hormone in nail pigmentation.
occur with some anticancer agents such as cyclophosphamide (Shah et al., 1975), 5-FU and nitrogen mustard (Moore and Meiselbaugh, 1975), and also with exposure to x-rays (Sutton, 1952; Inalshingh, 1972). Priestman and James (1975) reported 3 cases in which nail changes were possibly due to doxorubicin. They speculated that this drug has a selective hormone-suppressive action which might allow a...
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 کاملMelanin concentrating hormone (MCH): structure-function aspects of its melanocyte stimulating hormone-like (MSH-like) activity.
Melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) is a heptadecapeptide, Asp-Thr-Met-Arg-Cys-Met-Val-Gly-Arg-Val-Tyr-Arg-Pro-Cys-Trp-Glu-Val, synthesized in the brain and secreted from the pars nervosa of teleost fish. This hormone stimulates melanosome (melanin granule) aggregation within integumental melanocytes of fishes but, in contrast, stimulates melanosome dispersion within tetrapod (frog and lizard) ...
متن کاملHow the Prohormone Theory Solved Two Important Controversies in Hormonal and Neural Peptide Biosynthesis
This Prohormone Theory was simultaneously proposed in 1967 by two independent groups using two different approaches and two experimental models. Donald Steiner, in elegant pulse-chase experiments, proposed the existence of proinsulin when he observed that a human insulinoma was producing higher MW forms of immunoreactive insulin, subsequently transformed into insulin-like material (1). Simultan...
متن کاملalpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) decreases cyclosporine a induced apoptosis in cultured human proximal tubular cells.
The pathogenesis of chronic cyclosporine A (CsA) nephrotoxicity has not been elucidated, but apoptosis is thought to play an important role in CsA induced tubular atrophy. Recently Fas-Fas ligand system mediated apoptosis has been frequently reported in many epithelial cells as well as in T lymphocytes. We investigated the ability of CsA to induce apoptosis in cultured human proximal tubular ep...
