title: Ability of various factors to oppose the stimulatory effect of dibutyrylcyclic AMP on the release of melanocyte-stimulating hormone by the rat pituitary in vitro.
abstract: Various agents were tested for their ability to oppose the stimulatory effect of dibutyryl cyclic AMP on the release of the melanocyte-stimulating hormone from the rat neuro intermediate lobe in vitro. Only dopamine exhibited an inhibitory effect; serotonin, gamma-amino-butyric acid, tocinoic acid, tocinamide, the tripeptide Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 and dibutyryl cyclic GMP were all ineffective.
