Induction of melanogenesis in the epidermal melanoblasts of newborn mouse skin by MSH
J Embryol Exp Morphol.
1977 Feb.
Abstract
The number of melanocytes positive to the dopa reaction in the epidermis was shown to increase after newborn mice were injected with alpha-MSH or DBc-AMP. The agents seemed to induce the initiation of melanogenesis in the pre-existing melanoblasts. Electron-microscopic observation also demonstrated that alpha-MSH induced not only maturation of melanosomes but also the formation of melanosomes.
