Central and peripheral actions of alpha-MSH in the thermoregulation of rats.

M Villar1, N Perassi, M E Celis.   

Abstract

The effect of alpha-MSH on thermoregulation in rats at room temperature was examined. alpha-MSH (1 microgram ICV or 30 micrograms IP) alone did not alter temperature. However, this peptide was a potent antipyretic when administered centrally or peripherally in rats treated with pyrogen derived from Salmonella typhi.
