Effect of a monthly dose of calcidiol in improving vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism in HIV-infected patients.

abstract：:Stimulation of dopamine D2 receptors inhibits melanotrope pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) biosynthesis and alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) secretion. These effects are mediated by G-protein alpha i- and alpha o-subunits and are reversed by stimulating receptors linked to activation of G alpha s protein. Melanot...
