Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) has been reported to enhance the experimental metastatic behaviour of melanoma cells in the mouse model. alpha-MSH production and MSH receptor (melanocortin 1 receptor gene) expression have been detected in cultured normal human melanocytes and metastasized melan
## Abstract The effect of __Ξ±__βmelanocyte stimulating hormone (__Ξ±__βMSH) was investigated on gentamicinβinduced acute renal injury in rats. SpragueβDawley rats (200β250 g; __n__ = 8β10) were treated with gentamicin sulphate (GEN; 80 mg kg^β1^) or saline intraperitoneally for 7 consecutive days. _
alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) was found significantly to reduce tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) stimulated upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in normal adult cutaneous melanocytes. The maximum inhibitory response to alpha-MSH was obtained at around
