Peptide hormones - Alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (Alpha-MSH)

Peptide hormones, for instance Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH, pituitary hormone), Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH, Melanocortin), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Cholecytokinin, and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), measured with traditional enzymatic tests, such as Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA).

In TRAILS, the Alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (Alpha-MSH) was assessed. Alpha-MSH is a peptide hormone that stimulates the pigmentation of primarily hair and skin. Alpha-MSH was assessed from a blood sample using traditional enzymatic methods such as Enzyme Immuno Assay (EIA).
