title: [Local pigment stimulation by alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone in the human: intracutaneous injections without and with ultraviolet irradiation].
abstract: Repeated intracutaneous injections of alpha-MSH failed to stimulate local pigmentation in healthy persons. Only additional application of UV irradiation resulted in a distinct brown discoloration of the skin at the site of injection.
