Research findings, "Cardiovascular and renal actions of melanocyte-stimulating hormone peptides," are discussed in a new report. "Melanocyte stimulating hormones (MSHs, melanocortins) have important roles in feeding and energy metabolism and in inflammation. Recent observations have uncovered major functions for these peptides, particularly gamma-MSH, in cardiovascular regulation and sodium metabolism," scientists in the United States report.
"Both alpha-and gamma-MSH acutely elevate blood pressure and heart rate through central stimulation of sympathetic nervous outflow. This action of alpha-MSH is mediated by the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), whereas sympathetic...
