Abstract excerpt
The effect of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) on the differentiation of mammalian melanocytes has been widely studied since the early 1950s. There have been many reports about the stimulatory effect of MSH on melanin production and specifically on the activity of tyrosinase, the critical enz...
