Product Description
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone release-inhibiting factor (MSH-R-IF) is a hypothalamic tripeptide that binds to rat striatum (Kd = 4.69 nM) and has diverse biological activities.,,, In vivo, MSH-R-IF (0.1 mg/kg) decreases immobility of mice in the forced swim test, indicating antidepressant-like activity. MSH-R-IF (20 mg/kg) increases striatal concentration of dopamine (Item No. ) and the dopamine metabolites DOPAC, 3-methoxy tyramine (3-MT; Item No. ), and homovanillic acid (HVA) in a mouse model of Parkinsons disease induced by MPTP. It decreases vacuous chewing movements induced by haloperidol (Item No. ) in a rat model of tardive dyskinesia when administered at a dose of 2 mg/kg. MSH-R-IF also has anti-opiate effects, reversing analgesia induced by morphine (Item No. ) and an enkephalin in mice in a radiant heat tail-flick assay.
