title: [Biologically active fragments of protein hormones].
abstract: As shown in a number of experiments, corticotropin-like and opiate hormones are synthesized in a body as high molecular protein precursors, involving their biologically-active fragments. Pharmacological properties and perspectives for practical use of somatotropin fragments, synthetic opiate peptides as well as the peptides active in stimulation of pancreatic hormones secretion are considered in details.
