Abstract
alpha-MSH (0.1, 1, 10 micrograms) was administered intracerebroventricularly and its action on pain sensitivity was investigated by the hot-plate method in mice. alpha-MSH produced dose-dependent analgesia and this analgesic effect was prevented by naloxone (1 mg/kg, s.c.). It is possible that alpha-MSH may play a role in the mechanism of pain through endogeneous opioid systems.Entities:
