MSH—See Melanocyte-stimulating hormone

Other peptides which affect feeding behaviour are found in the hypothalamus. They include the orexigenic peptides neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (AgRp), and the anorexic peptides melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) and cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) (see below). [Pg.8]

Melanotropin, melanocyte stimulating hormone, MSH a peptide hormone or neuropeptide produced by opiomelanotropinergic cells of the pars intermedia of the pituitary and by neurons in the central nervous system. In species lacking the pars intermedia (e.g. chickens, porpoise, whale), a-MSH is produced by the neurohypophysis Production of a-MSH by the pituitary is under control of MRH and MIH (see Re-... [Pg.383]
