Concentration of melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) within specific brain regions in aged squirrel monkeys.
The concentration of MSH per unit protein is reduced on average in several sites within the brains of aged squirrel monkeys. This decrease may account for alterations in CNS functions mediated via MSH but perhaps does not account for reduced fever in these aged subhuman primates.
