γ 2‐MSH increases during graded exercise in healthy subjects : comparison with plasma catecholamines, neuropeptides, aldosterone and renin activity
Summary. To evaluate the possibility that the proopiomelanocortin (POMC)‐derived peptide γ2‐melanocyte stimulating hormone (γ2‐MSH) has a role in circulatory regulation in man we studied circulating levels of this peptide at three different stages of physical activity in 10 young healthy subjects. The results were compared to simultaneously measured plasma levels of catecholamines, neuropeptide Y,
