title: Behavioral effects of melanocyte stimulating hormone release-inhibiting factor-1 (MIF-1).
abstract: Consideration of the isolation, structure, localization, and behavioral effects of melanocyte stimulating hormone release inhibiting factor (MIF-1) is followed by a review of its opiate antagonistic and clinical effects. Evidence pertaining to various hypotheses offered in explanation of these behavioral effects is examined and evaluated. It is concluded that MIF-1 affects behavior in many instances with possible antagonistic effects as well as clinical possibilities.
