Salmonid melanin-concentrating hormone inhibits corticotrophin release (1985)
Journal Article
Baker, B. I., Bird, D. J., & Buckingham, J. C. (1985). Salmonid melanin-concentrating hormone inhibits corticotrophin release. Journal of Endocrinology, 106(2), R5-R8. https://doi.org/10.1677/joe.0.106R005

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a neural peptide associated with colour change in fishes. We show here that it also inhibits corticotrophin (ACTH) secretion. Synthetic salmonid MCH at a concentration of 100 pmol/l reduced the in-vitro release... Read More about Salmonid melanin-concentrating hormone inhibits corticotrophin release.
