Light modulates the melanophore response to alpha-MSH in Xenopus laevis: An analysis of the signal transduction crosstalk mechanisms involved
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2010)
Melanin granule (melanosome) dispersion within Xenopus laevis melanophores is evoked either by light or alpha-MSH. We have previously demonstrated that the initial biochemical steps of light and alpha-MSH signaling are ...
Effects of Coccoloba uvifera L. on UV-stimulated melanocytes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-12-01)
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation induces generation of reactive oxygen species, production of proinflammatory cytokines and melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) as well as increase in tyrosinase activity. The potential ...

Peptide-lipid interaction monitored by spin labeled biologically active melanocortin peptides
(Elsevier B.V., 2005-10-01)
The present work comparatively analyzes the interaction of alpha-MSH and its more potent and long-acting analog [Nle(4), D-Phe(7)]alpha-MSH (NDP-MSH) with lipid bilayers. the peptides were spin labeled with Toac ...
Effect of NDP-a-MSH on PPAR-c and –b Expression and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokine Release in Rat Astrocytes and Microglia
(Public Library Science, 2013-02-26)
Brain inflammation plays a central role in numerous brain pathologies. Microglia and astrocytes are the main effector cells that become activated when an inflammatory process takes place within the central nervous system. ...
Laurdan Spectrum Decomposition as a Tool for the Analysis of Surface Bilayer Structure and Polarity: a Study with DMPG, Peptides and Cholesterol
(SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS, 2010)
The highly hydrophobic fluorophore Laurdan (6-dodecanoyl-2-(dimethylaminonaphthalene)) has been widely used as a fluorescent probe to monitor lipid membranes. Actually, it monitors the structure and polarity of the bilayer ...
