Abstract
SUMMARY: Various agents were tested for their ability to oppose the stimulatory effect of dibutyryl cyclic AMP on the release of the melanocyte-stimulating hormone from the rat neuro-intermediate lobe in vitro. Only dopamine exhibited an inhibitory effect; serotonin, γ-aminobutyric acid, tocinoic acid, tocinamide, the tripeptide Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 and dibutyryl cyclic GMP were all ineffective.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
