Abstract
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) has been reported to stimulate the release of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) from the pars intermedia (PI) of Rana esculenta. To test its effect on the rat PI, acutely dispersed rat PI cells, as well as whole nervosa-intermedias (NI), were incubated with synthetic TRH, from 10–10-10–4 M. TRH did not alter the release of either MSH or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).Keywords
