High impact information on AGRP

  • We showed that Agrp inhibited, in a dose-dependent manner, the 10(-9) M NDP-alphaMSH-induced cortisol production through its antagonistic properties towards MSH at the level of MC4-R [1].
  • In this report, we studied the effects of a long-term treatment (24 h) of cultured bovine adrenal cells by Agrp on the (Nle4, d-Phe7)-alphaMSH (NDP-alphaMSH)- or ACTH-induced cortisol release [1].
  • The adrenal gland is the second tissue after hypothalamus exhibiting high expression level of Agouti Related Protein (Agrp) mRNA, which suggests that this peptide may control adrenal cell functions [1].
  • Our data confirmed that Agrp is not an antagonist of ACTH at the level of MC2-R and that its sustained effect on ACTH-induced steroidogenesis did not involve its antagonistic properties at the level of MC4-R [1].
