Antinociceptive action of intrathecal neurotensin in mice.

abstract：:The effect of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) on the release of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) from the tilapia pituitary gland was studied in vitro. In a superfusion set up, 10 nM to 1 microM synthetic salmon MCH caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of alpha-MSH release from tilapia neuro...
