Abstract excerpt

It is clear that alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), released by the hypophysial neurointermediate lobe, is a mediator of suckling-induced prolactin release, but several questions surrounding its role remain unresolved. Accordingly, the objectives of the present study were 1) to establish whether alpha-MSH could bind in a reversible manner to a specific secretory type cell within the adenohypophysis...
