PReS-FINAL-2357: Effects of anti-melanocyte stimulating hormone in murine pristine-induced lupus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Alfa-melanocyte stimulating hormone (a-MSH) has a variety of biological functions such as downregulation of pro-inflammatory pathways, reduction of skin delayedtype hypersensitivity and blockage of leukocyte migration. Inhibition of experimental disease models development including inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis has been shown, however the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of a-MSH on murine lupus remain undetermined.

The Neuropeptide Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Is Critically Involved in the Development of Cytotoxic CD8+ T Cells in Mice and Humans
BACKGROUND The neuropeptide alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone is well known as a mediator of skin pigmentation. More recently, it has been shown that alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone also plays pivotal roles in energy homeostasis, sexual function, and inflammation or immunomodulation. Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone exerts its antiinflammatory and immunomodulatory effects by binding...

Introduction Reduction of ovarian reserve has been observed in childhood-onset SLE (c-SLE) and adult SLE populations, and most of them were limited to follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels and few recent reports included antral follicle count (AFC) and/or anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels. In addition, the contribution of diminished follicle ovarian pool using anti-corpus luteum antibodie...

The present study aimed to evaluate the anti-melanogenic activity of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene and its derivatives in B16F10 murine melanoma cells and zebrafish embryos. Twenty five (1E,3E,5E)-1,6-bis(substituted phenyl)hexa-1,3,5-triene analogs were synthesized and their non-cytotoxic effects were predictively analyzed using three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship ap...

Previous research showed that resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) and pinostilbene (trans-3-methoxy-4',5-dihydroxystilbene) were able to inhibit tyrosinase directly; however, anti-melanogenic effects of pterostilbene (trans-3,5-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxystilbene) and resveratrol trimethyl ether (RTE) have not been compared. To investigate the hypopigmentation effects of pterostilbene and RT...
