The melanin-concentrating hormone system in human, rodent and avian brain

The melanin-concentrating hormone system in human, rodent and avian brain

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic 19 amino acid orexigenic hypothalamic peptide. MCH is located in the lateral and dorsal hypothalamus, as well as in the zona incerta. In mammals MCH increases food intake, contributes to regulation of energy balance, temperature, reproductive function,...
