Abstract
It has been demonstrated that adipocytes express high affinity ACTH and alpha-MSH binding sites, and that ACTH, alpha-MSH, and beta-LPH are potent lipolytic hormones. Considerable species variability exists in the lipolytic response to melanocortins, however. Recently, MC2 and MC5 receptor-mRNA was found in both murine adipocytes and in the 3T3-L1 murine embryonic fibroblast cell line, but only after the 3T3-L1 cells had differentiated into...
