WebThe mechanism underlying the leptin-induced increased sympathetic nerve activity and cardiovascular tone was investigated in normal rats. The melanocortin (MC) peptides and other fragments derived from proopiomelancortin (POMC) have a diverse array of biological activities and have been implicated in mediating the feeding behavioral responses to leptin. WebThe melanocortins comprise adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), α-, β-, and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormones (α-, β-, γ-MSHs), which are generated from proopiomelanocortin (POMC) processing. Besides steroidogenesis and pigmentary effects caused by ACTH and α-MSH, respectively, new roles in energy homeostasis, reproductive system ...

These POMC fragments are involved in the stress response as part of the hypothala-mic–pituitary–adrenal axis (ACTH) and are involved in the modulation of pain and pleasure because of their affinity for the opiate receptors (h-endorphin). sicaf cnd

WebSingle ICV injection of clusterin provoked neurohormonal changes seen under acute stress condition: increased plasma ACTH, corticosterone, GH and prolactin levels and decreased LH and FSH levels. Consistently, hypothalamic and pituitary clusterin expression levels were upregulated following a restraint stress, suggesting an involvement of endogenous … Webthe control of the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) gene (22– 24), which gives rise to the precursor to ACTH and -MSH. Very recently, we have shown that retinoic acid inhibits ACTH secretion both in vitro and in vivo through an action on POMC gene transcription and also inhibits corticotrophi-noma development and proliferation (25). WebBACKGROUND: Endogenous corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), its pituitary CRF1 receptor, and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) may be involved in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) responses to alcoh sicaf ba
