  • Title: Presence of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in bovine pituitary intraglandular colloid of intermediate lobe origin.
    Author: Boyd WH, Krogsrud RL.
    Journal: Am J Anat; 1987 Jan; 178(1):81-4. PubMed ID: 3825965.
    Abstract:
    Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), one of several peptide hormones originating in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary as proopiomelanocortin, was discovered in bovine pituitary intraglandular colloid by using radioimmunoassay. The quantity of alpha-MSH varied from 5 to 368 micrograms/mg protein in the three pools. The importance of this finding is discussed in light of the possibility that the colloid is a transport medium for alpha-MSH and other intermediate lobe hormones.
