ABSTRACT
Melanin concentrating hormone (MCH 5 x 10(-12)-5 x 10(-8) M) induced a concentration related, rapid and reversible pigment aggregation in innervated melanophores of Labeo rohita. In inducing melanosome aggregation MCH was found to be 10(4) times more potent than norepinephrine. Experiments employing phentolamine and propranolol suggest that MCH acts through its own specific receptors on the melanophores unrelated to adrenoceptors. MCH was able to aggregate the melanosomes even in the absence of extracellular Ca2+.
