## Abstract ## Background Hepatic fibrosis represents a process of healing and scarring in response to chronic liver injury. Effective therapies are lacking. We have previously demonstrated that α‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (α‐MSH) gene therapy protects against thioacetamide‐induced acute live

In serum-free primary culture of dissociated mouse epidermal cells, a-melanocyte stimulating hormone (a-MSH) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (UBcAMP) induced the differentiation of melanocytes. Moreover, the proliferation of melanocytes was also induced in the dishes cultured with DECAMP, but not with a-MS
## Abstract Melanocortins, besides their central roles, have also recently been reported to regulate adipocyte metabolism. In this study, we attempted to characterize the mechanism underlying α‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (MSH)‐induced lipolysis, and compared it with that of the adrenocorticotro
## Abstract The effect of __α__‐melanocyte stimulating hormone (__α__‐MSH) was investigated on gentamicin‐induced acute renal injury in rats. Sprague‐Dawley rats (200–250 g; __n__ = 8–10) were treated with gentamicin sulphate (GEN; 80 mg kg^−1^) or saline intraperitoneally for 7 consecutive days. _
