Calcitonin gene-related protein (CGRP) inhibits food intake and stimulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis after intracerebroventricular injection in rats. However, the hypothalamic site and mechanism of action are unknown. We investigat...

Journal Article
Dhillo, W. S., Small, C. J., Gardiner, J. V., Bewick, G. A., Whitworth, E. J., Jethwa, P. H., …Bloom, S. R. (2003). Agouti-related protein has an inhibitory paracrine role in the rat adrenal gland.

α-Melanocyte-stimulating-hormone (α-MSH) is an agonist at the melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3-R) and melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4-R). α-MSH stimulates corticosterone release from rat adrenal glomerulosa cells in vitro. Agouti-related protein (AgRP) an e... Read More about Agouti-related protein has an inhibitory paracrine role in the rat adrenal gland.
